Now for the updates on Siena. After Florence, hopped on a train heading for the picturesque Tuscan town. Now I have heard a lot about the Tuscan sun, but we did not see it in Siena. It was raining. A lot. After quite the trek to drop off our bags, and a cappuccino to warm us up, Ariel and I started to explore the picturesque town.
Sweet Church in Siena
Unicorn Fountain!
Piazza del Campo
This square hosts horse races twice a year.

Another rainy day in Tuscany...

Clock tower at Piazza del Campo
Fountain at the top of the square.
She-Wolf statue representing the wolf that nurtured Romulus and Reumus, the founders of Rome. Remus's sun was named Senius, and fonded the town of Siena
Another cool church
The Duomo(Cathedral) at the top of the hill
Beautiful Romanesque-Gothic Architecture!
I love how all the churches in Italy are so different from France.
I think this is the church of San Dominico...
Wonderful view of the town! The rain stopped for a bit in the late afternoon.
Cool arches...
There are a lot of hills in Siena...
One last view of Piazza Del Campo
Me reading 60 Million Frenchmen Can't be Wrong on the train heading for Rome.
I love traveling on trains because: there are no luggage or liquid restrictions, no security line, and you can look out the window at the countryside. The ride from Siena to Rome was stunning!
Tomorrow I will start my updates on Rome!
Ciao,
Allison
