Today we went inside the Siena’s cathedral–shown below in a nighttime photo that rather looks like a model of the cathedral rather than the actual structure. Inside, the facade is striped black and white, the dome decorated with stars, the floors covered with inlaid art, and all around are statues of popes. It’s quite something to see.
Around town today we’re checking out unique door knockers,
delicious-looking bakery items which includes fruit bread,
and biscotti best enjoyed when dipped in Vin Santo, a sweet wine.
Shop windows around town display the latest, not so colorful, fall styles.
Tomorrow we’ll be boarding a bus to head for a short stay in Florence. We are looking forward to seeing a city that we haven’t visited in fifteen years!
