Street Basketball Game

Last night we stumbled upon a street basketball tournament. Here in Siena the neighborhoods are seperated in seventeen districts and they do lots of activities as teams against each other. We got to watch their basketball tournament last night. It was fun, but they really weren't any good at basketball at all!!! hah oh well In a couple of weeks the neighborhoods compete against each other in a horse race...maybe they'll be better at that! :)

The Heart of Tuscany!!!!!!!!!!!!

So...here we are...in the heart of Tuscany--Siena. We rode on several different trains all day long to get here. We rode a really nice train (1st class) today. The EuroStar. It goes over 100 miles an hr. They gave us free soda & biscotti. We were living the life! That is the first one that has been like that though! Most of the trains make me think that I will get piojos or pulgas. (If you don't know what that means consult a Spanish dictionary).
Anyway, we just finished eating a great dinner on the main square here in Siena. Joe had some strange pasta with wild boar. He claims that it was tasty. I'm not so sure. I stuck to pasta w\normal meat sauce.
Well, we're off for a stroll around town! Arrivederci!
