siena

tuesday we saw siena. it is a pretty cool town, but we didn't see that much. we just went to the main piazza, the duomo, and the church museum. we weren't allowed to take pictures inside of the museum, but there were relics from the chigi family in there, along with a lot of papal clothing from the chigi pope. it was interesting, but i felt like we didn't really experience siena. i wouldn't mind visiting it again.

i really really liked the duomo in siena. it wasn't like any other church we have seen. the black and white stripes made it so interesting. i loved it.
