Siena sights seen

With only one day in Siena, we prioritized.

1. Climb the tower of the town hall (lots of steps, good view).
2. Coffee.
3. Visit the Siena Archives (500-year-old files and paintings of a virtually unchanged Piazza del Campo).
4. Coffee.
5. Visit the Duomo and climb to the roof (more steps and views, much appreciation of painted ceilings and stained glass).
6. Sit and look at exterior of Duomo (wow).
7. Visit the town museum (disappointing, especially the good and bad government frescos – saw statue that reflected my feeling on yet more steps).
8. Gelato.
9. Fail to find the local contrade group’s museum, but luck out by stumbling into a sbandietaroti group practicing (feeling very happy to have seen a real version of the local flag throwing custom).
10. Aperitivo in a local piazza.
11. Final dinner with Connie and Jay.
