Day 3 continued

We finally got to Siena and then the real fun began. Trying to read road signs and circumventingthe streets we finally found some parking. The three of us (with luggage) felt like tourists while transporting our luggage through the streets. Our hotel was tucked away in an ally and the room reminded us of a dorm. We immediately asked the desk clerk about a dinner spot. Went went to a place called Da Divo that seems it was cut into an Etruscan cellar. Lined with bricks and atmosphere, we ate an amazing Sienese dinner. Included was a full blown decanting of our wine tableside. I had quail and rabbit for the first time in my life. When then walked into the night to find the Campo which is the epicenter of Siena. There just happened to be a european rock star playing to a huge crowd that night. What an incredible sight! We ended up in our hotel and people watched out our window drinking from our box of wine. All of a sudden, we heard singing and drums. It was a small parade of people from one district that was celebrating. We ended up witnessing several of these parades. We went to sleep late with the roar of the street below us. This city cannot be described with words. There is passion from the shopkeepers and we are surrounded by century old buildings. We felt so secluded from the outside word.
