Arriving and Siena

8 to 10 hours on a plane or in an airport, with only about 2 hours of sleep is no fun.  No one need me to tell them this, but I must include it.  And it makes arriving to the country and catching your first glimps of the Tuscan hill sides all that much more amazing.



And however amazing the view might seem... the food and wine is just as breath taking.



We began our second day in Siena a little late... we slept until noon to catch up from the night before. Parking seems to be a problem in general, but we managed and made our way to the Pizza del Campo.  This huge area was great for people watch and gelato eating.



We also spent some time in the Siena Duomo and I can tell ya these Italians know a thing or two about art and marble carving!



We wrapped our day up with some dinner - bruschetta, ravioli and chianti senesa back in the pizza and then had a short drive back to the Il Borgehtto.  That's all for now, ciao e buena cera!
