I was late in starting out having finished letter to Margaret inc. letter from Alfred and my answer, also 3 Kodak prints of myself and other letters re.
Went to Museo of Duomo – chapel of San Giovanni and Piccolomini Library.* Got there a few minutes before twelve, not knowing it closed at twelve. Guard said we must leave and to come back in afternoon or tomorrow, so went back at 2:30. Saw all the frescoes and bought over 4 francs worth of postals of Siena and a marble bowl from the Museo. Some of these postals I bought on the Via Carmi (sp?). Took a book out of library about San Gimignano, bought seeds and wafers off a peddler to try them.
Came home and settled bill with Signora. She is not friendly, I suppose because I would not pay for my breakfasts served in my room. Then too I thought it was 18 when it was 19 - paid 116.50. Paid 6.50 for having shoes repaired, a very high price. Signorina Orlandi came, but she was distraite and I was tired so the lesson was not a success. Paid her 9 lire. After dinner, packed my bag and hold all, also read about San Gimignano and wrote in this diary. I am glad I am going to leave this pension.
* Both the Piccolomini Library and St. John the Baptist Chapel are located in the Duomo di Siena.
