Siena

Leaf Peeping!

I felt like a leaf peeper in Siena! There are more trees there than in Perugia and boy do I miss trees! Their weather was a little more Fall-like than Perugia had been so it almost felt a little homey.

I went Sunday with a girl from my Saint's and Sinner's class, we missed the trip Friday since we went to Rome instead so we made it up, and had a lot of fun! We spent the first hour and half or so getting lost trying to find the city center and the Duomo church, the first stop on our itinerary. There was a crypt under the Duomo with glass floors so you could see the old architecture, but there were also glass floors in the Duomo looking into the crypt so it was a little freaky.

Then we went to a museum in a public building and explored more than we needed to which was fine because there was some cool stuff there. The bones of St. Clement were there and positioned very decoratively with golden ribbons tied to them. I started pointing out his femurs, scapula, patella's and other various bones slightly for practice to see what I could remember from my classes, and because it was so interesting.

In all of the buildings we went to there either were a lot of Madonna and Child paintings or statues and paintings of the She-wolf with babies Romulus and Remus. We wanted to start counting to see just how many we saw because it was simply an insane amount! How many different ways and times can you do over the exact same thing???? A lot apparently haha.
