DAY TRIP TO SIENA

So Wednesday we traveled to Siena. We got on a charter bus at 8:50am and set out for a new adventure in Florence. We slept most of the bus ride which was a little over an hour long. When we got there we just explored. We found the Duomo del Siena which was really pretty. The outside of it had so much detail to it. We also found the Piazza del Campo which is where they hold the famous horse races (each district is represented by a horse and which ever horse wins gives that district bragging rights apparently). We walked into several other churches and looked around the shops but after a couple hours we decided to catch the next bus back to Florence. It was a very relaxing day!

Today (Thursday) we went to the Galleria Accademia which is where Michelangelo's David is. It was amazing to see. The statue is so big and so detailed it's amazing. We also went to the Bargello Museum where we saw hundreds of statues and pieces of art work. Last but not least we went into the San Lorenzo and saw Michelangelo's tombs that he designed for some princes. They also had some beautiful artifacts there that belonged to the families. We ate at the most delicious restaurant in Florence! We had the biggest plate of spaghetti and meat sauce for only €6! It was amazing! We are stuffed right about now! Anyways we hope to travel a little bit more these next 2 days maybe to Fiesole! Miss you all!
