When we arrived in Siena it was a bit overcast and raining. We were certainly giving the two umbrellas we purchased on the street in Milan a workout. After parking at the Fortezza, we walked into town to the Piazza and spent some time checking out the shops, having some lunch and taking a tour of the Duomo. After we toured the Duomo, the sun came out, the rain stopped and the town came back to life. Siena was a beautiful town. After Siena, we hit the road again on our way to our Castellina In Chianti. </B></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 494 WIDTH="607"><div> <B><IMG SRC="0be58c20.jpg" border=0 width="600" height="450" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Arriving at the Piazza in Siena we were back in with the tourist crowd.
