A Farmhouse in Tuscany Pt 2: A Day in Siena
We leave our farmhouse retreat and venture down the Chianti Trail to Siena. a wonderful medieval walled city with her feet in the olive groves and vinyards of Chianti. It is a delightful place with many churches, Piazzas and famous clock towers. It is a safe and enjoyable city where one may wander and dream of things past. There are even tales of the Palio, a famous ancient horse race which lasts only 75 seconds and is still held today. Of course there are many photos. Please join me and feel free to make a comment in my discussion area. Mary Ellen
