I woke up this morning refreshed and ready for travel. We departed Sansepolcro by bus around 9:15 to go to Anghiari. Anghiari was beautiful! We walked around everywhere to learn more about the place. Anghiari was so calming that it was recommended for us to escape here to study or to just take a short break from the palazzo. Although there were hills everywhere, everything we saw was too picture-perfect. I ended up taking most of my pictures for the day here. We spent about an hour or two here and went back to the bus stop to head out for Arezzo.

At the bus stop, we met two elder ladies who had family that fought in the war or who were in the holocaust; it was a quite interesting.

As for the bus, it was late; I guess it was running on Italian time… this bus was overly crowded. It was so rude to be stereotyped or judged as I was going to my seat. The four obnoxious Italian guys were singing some song calling me Filipino. I loved the fact that they did not even bother to ask my nationality.

Well the bus ride was about an hour and a half of scenery watching. It was insanely beautiful. We reached our Arezzo around noon. We learned that the first thing we do once we reach our destination is to check the bus schedule to see when a bus will take us back to Sansepolcro. After that, we were to find the “Information Office” to get a map of the city in case we needed directions or got lost.

There was a great antique show near the cathedral in Arezzo. We all walked through in different groups just wondering around to see what we could find. The antique fair here was by far better than one in Raleigh. There were so many things and such great history behind each of them. I was astounding to see what others collected over time.

Well it got smoldering hot and we were all sweating out of our clothes. We went in to a few clothing stores to look around and cool down. There was no where around here that had air condition. We found a cute clothing store with pretty modern clothes for a fairly good price. I got a cute plaid skirt for only 7 euros.

A few of us decided to go back on an earlier bus ride back to Sansepolcro. So then we were just trying to kill time before our bus came. We left around 3:35. We wanted to come back because we were tired and I wanted to rest before our city “Balestra.” The balestra is a competition involving crossbows if you didn’t know.
Well it's nap time before the pre-Balestra
