So, it’s been a while, huh? Moving right along, then.
The sixth day of our trip brought us to Siena, which is as close to a perfect place as any I’ve ever seen. I have no idea how bored I might become if I tried to spend more than a few days, but Siena, at least until whenever I hopefully return, will always remain idyllic in my mind, an image of one delightful morning and afternoon.
The previous sentence — besides being overly long and flowery — is odd for two reasons. The first is that the weather on the day we were there was mediocre at best — chilly and drizzly, neither of which makes for optimal tower-climbing conditions. But the oddest part of my placing Siena on such a pedestal is that our few hours there included two of the dumbest/lamest things we did on our entire trip. Spread out over a few days, a few silly stops here and there might not amount to much; I would say that two out of some six or so total things we did in Siena were laughable, which isn’t the best ratio. But it should say plenty about the rest of our stops.
