Siena

A few pictures from Siena:

The Torre Mangia against the night sky

One of the typical streets in Siena leading to il Campo. This is in the Oca (Goose) contrada-they won the July 2 Palio. We are going to live in the Onda contrada (the wave, symbolizewd by a fish)

This is a view looking south west from the old Medici fortress-now it is a sort of park that has a amphitheater for music in the summer as well as an Enoteca that has a huge supply of wine. Our apartment is on the right. Near one of the churches-you can see the church better if you click on the picture)

Oliver in his new park which is very close to our apartment.

The facade of the ornate gothic Duomo. We have not had time to go in yet, but hope to soon! (Click on the picture to see the details)

Another view of the country side. This is what you see when you leave the walls of Siena.

Congrats on finding an apartment (both the temporary one and the real one) after your ordeal. I wish you two much happiness in your new home.

But I have to know - what kind of a dog is Oliver?

Thanks. I'm not exactly sure what kind of dog-I think park Rhodesian Ridgeback and maybe Lab. He has the face of a Ridgeback though!
