Siena

After two days in rural Tuscany

We moved to the medieval city of Siena

Narrow cobbled streets thronged with tourists

Large open squares surrounded by pavement cafes

Magnificent large buildings and churches

It was easy to visualize medieval times there

Merchants selling goods in the squares

Horses pulling carts through narrow cobbled streets

Craftsman spending decades carving the stone facades

Could people back then imagine life today in Siena

Did they have the slightest idea

They were building attractions for future foreign tourists

The buildings are still the same today

Its just different people walking by them
