Che Cose Mentre stiamo Aspettiando?




This is what we do while we are waiting to go on to the next site. Really quite fun, all of these pictures were taken in front of a big cathedral in Siena.

Siena











This is Siena, which is full of hills! The city streets go up and down giving you the oppurtunity to get some excersise. Piazzo di Campo is the picture with the big and in the summer there is a huge horse race where 10 of the 17 districts of Siena represent by racing a horse. During the actual horse race the whole square is filled with tons of people packed together. The accounts of the race sounds very exciting yet claustrophobic at the same time. I had a fun time wondering around this city, the gothic cathedral is of course amazing and big we were not able to go inside but on the floor of the cathedral there is a zodiac circle.

San Gimignano

This is San Gimignano, it is referred to as "Little Manhatten" becasue of the amount of towers in the city. I walked along the walls of the city and got a great view of the hills surrounding this city.

Gottingen













Small town in Germany










This is a small town in Germany that was not bombeed during the war, the name of the city is Duderstadt. Duderstadt is close to where I was staying with Toni in Gottingen it was really fun to see the traditional houses and the old church in the town, the whole town also had its original walls around it.

Lucca











Lucca is a little city that is enclosed with walls. This town is one of my favorite because of the walls, I rented a bike and rode around the town, it was such a cool experience, people were walking with thier families, running, and walking their dogs.
