| Fountain just inside Siena from Porta Pispina |
Ted and I walked south of Siena on the via Francigena. Then we turned it into a loop by going down one side of the valley and back up the other into Porta Prissipi (?)
(out the SE gate, in the E gate)
We walked to the Campo
boys walked into Siena and met up with us
We all ate pizza again at the Campo
Josh and Ted walked home
Rachel and Sam shopped and walked home in the pouring rain
Rachel, Ted and Sam ate at our favorite little Sienese restaurant again. Mushroom specialists. But the truly amazing dishes was the peppers.
Bought some pizza for Josh and carried it home

| The Duomo in Siena. Before the Black Death hit, they had laid the foundation for an even larger Duomo, which would be bigger than the one in Florence, showing their superiority over their rival. It was never built. The Black Death killed 70,000 if the 100,000 Sienese, knocking the city into obscurity for 600 years. |
