Flashing back to our summer vacation last year, it is easy to say that of all the places we visited, Siena was our favorite city to visit. We loved the various districts that the medieval city is divided into: dragon! porcupine! unicorn! GIRAFFE!
The cathedral with the stripes both inside and out was our favorite as well. The stories laid out in the floor were much more interesting to look at then the religious portraits in other naves.
