Here in Leuven (Belgium) it's just the same. Better join and party with them when you're a 'delicate soul'! It's the days of hedonism after weeks and weeks of cripling bureau labour from dawn to dusk locked in your 5 square metre digs. Hey, to over-do-it at senior’s week is the way to go.

And because I'm a college student, I enjoyed the atmosphere at night - always someone in the Campo to talk to. That being said, people there tend to over-do-it. (College tourists I mean) One of the highlights of living in Siena with a student organization for six weeks would have to be attending Il Palio, and being invited to Montalcino for a meal of Pici and rabbit cooked in Brunello - cooked by the grandmother of a Sienese college student I met on the trip. Here are a couple Siena / Montalcino pictures of mine: www.flickr.com/photos/garretwnagle Siena is AMAZING….

But I must say in compliments t you that while I am a fan of Gary's over the top style - you are bringing the meat with sublety and charm. I am vicariously reliving my all too short stay in Tuscany through your Blog (reflections on a reality). You are offering more than vino veritas - it is life lived. Gracie e buono fortuna I have been watching Gary Vay-NER -Chuck for only a few weeks now and have committed some scarce dollars to vino purchases.

I visited Venice, Rome and Florence a few years ago but I would like to go back and visit some of the smaller towns and cities. Reading your diary almost makes me feel like I was there; without the honey coated insects in pig's blood. Harold I have been reading your travelogue and today’s entry has me laughing.
