Yesterday we spent a second day in Siena, mostly consumed by a 2-1/2 hour walking tour of the city. This was arranged by our castle hosts, so there were several guests from Montalto along for the tour. It was another scorcher day and Siena is like "the anti-Fort Wayne" in terms of hills, but it was a nice tour. Afterwards we sat on a balcony overlooking Il Campo, the main square of the city. It is very big and is shaped like a bowl, all funneling down to a focus point. The first pic is looking up from the Campo to the balcony and the second the Campo itself (or vice versa -- I can't control the uploads and formatting very well).
After some refreshment on the balcony, we walked back toward the soccer stadium where we parked and had dinner in a lovely little restaurant that was literally tucked behind an alley. We were actually looking for another listed in Rick Steve's Italy Travel Guide and stumbled upon this one. Turned out to be an excellent "mistake".
Once dinner was over it was pretty late and we were having to get up early for day 2 in Firenza (Florence), so we headed straight home and went to bed.
