Sienna

The next place we went to visit was Sienna. Another hell of parking ensued. After a looooong walk to the middle of the city, we arrived at the centre. I right away remembered this square from the James Bond Film "Casino Royale" it was pretty nice square, there is a famous horse race that takes place here every year. It was happening the week after our visit and there were already quite a few posters and promotions around the town.




We then headed over to the Cathedral, which is also pretty well known. I could write down some facts about it, but I would just be copying from the wikipedia page. So if you want to know about the place, feel free to look it up there.

My perspective.... It was big. lots of marble. Lots of paintings. Lots of tourists.

Quite nice.

Liam particularly enjoyed the patterns on the marble floor and amused himself by walking the patterns while we queued to enter the cathedral.

Nore that he is in full tourist regalia.

A proud Canadian. I'd suggest a Maple Leafs shirt, but he should wear something he'd be proud of.
