I went to a school there last year as a non-Italian speaker and had some of the same fantastic experiences... muddling through the language with big smiles, sign language and many, many, many 'sis', 'pregos' and 'multo benes', encouraged all the way by the awesomely friendly people. As for the panforte... *drooool*. Some of the best food I ever tasted was in Siena, my personal favourite? The wild board tuscan stew... neither Italian nor English words can begin to describe that pure mmmmmmmm factor. Can't wait to get back there. :) Ahhh, that is a super account of your time in Siena!
