Merry Christmas Eve - everyone! We are spending the day in Siena today and will come back for Christmas Eve dinner in Florence.

Florence and Sienna comments
I remember not being too thrilled with Florence because it was pretty small and the Duomo was under construction when we were there also, same scaffolding, lol. It was probably alot more crowded then since it was July. And Sienna was nice and the country side is beautiful in Tuscany anywhere you drive. Changes from wine vineyards to wheat fields to olive groves . Billy said the worst meal we had was in Sienna but I don't remember. I remember wandering the streets with Laurie and Steph and I remember them going into the "Torture Museum". That is where they have the Palio Horse race every year in July ,in that big square and I think where they filmed parts of Twilight's Breaking Dawn Part 1. Glad you liked Sienna and you would have loved Cortona and the Chianti area and more of Tuscany I think. Hope you are enjoying Rome. I hope you called Elisa because Laurie said she wanted to meet you. Zoe is good, still under bed but he's eating and coming out a little more during the day but only for a few minutes and never in the Living Room.
