Siena Photos.

Siena, beautiful Siena. I fall in love with this place instantly. So much to see, so much to discover.

We didn't have the best weather. First day was all rainy and very cold but it didn't stop us from strolling around.
The weather got better the next day and we fully enjoyed exploring Siena. We spent there half a day, losing ouerselves in the maze of old narrow streets full of magic, admiring pearls of architecture, stopping by for a cup of cappuccino. It was wonderful and very exciting too- I love visiting new places and Tuscany was one of the places I always wanted to see. We are planning more trips to Pisa, Florence and Lucca.
Here are some pictures I took in Siena. Hope you enjoy them:

The wolf is a symbol of Siena. Legend says that the city was founded by Aschius and Senius, sons of Remus.

Spring in Tuscany. Yellow flowered meadow and olive trees. I took this photo just otside the B&B we stayed at.

  1. Nice photos: even though the weather wasn't good, the lighting is perfect! I love Tuscany, forget about Liguria!
    Thanks for the explanation you left on my blog: I can't imagine how difficult it must be to be in a foreign country with a newborn baby (in this you're lucky to be in Liguria and not in Tuscany actually)!

  11. Looking at the pictures of Siena, I think you already like Italy. Genoa is a big city but compared to our rainy and "blue" North, behind the Alps, it is a change to good. I just hope to cheer you up, I read you comment on Fuoriborgo's blog.
