Siena - from my journal
December 6, 2008
When we arrived in Siena, I could tell it was built during the medieval time period by the architectural differences. It was such a different atmosphere than Florence, and I really liked it as well. It reminded me of a medieval "The Greene": city like but family and people friendly. You would not get hit by a bus while on the sidewalk like in Florence and Rome. The piazza we went to was circular with 11 entrances, and I thought of various tribes coming in for battle like in old movies. The outskirts of the circle were all restaurants, and in the summer there are famous horse races. To be able to watch the races from a balcony, people have to book their seats six months in advance.
