Siena

Not a long drive to old 12 C walled city of Siena but it was an adventure to locate the parking once we arrived. Anita was extremely patient and I was extremely thankful she was at the wheel. But it was all worth it just to see the Duomo (cathedral) and to lunch and people watch in the Piazza del Campo. The Piazza is the site of a medieval horse race that pits 10 of the 17 districts of Siena twice a year in a viciously competitive race through the city. Then the winning district spends the remaining part of the year celebrating. It was a great day and we celebrated with wine, the house specialty, rabbit in white wine sauce, pork medallions and an array of Italian desserts in tasting portions. Perfecto!
