Monday, March 21, 2011 (Part 6)The second main area of attractions in Siena is the center of town, called Il Campo. It was very windy today and the wind was sweeping across Il Campo making it feel rather cold. Since it was past the lunch hour, we decided this was a good excuse to duck into a nearby cafe for some lunch. Il Campo is surrounded on its outer edges by lots of cafes with outdoor seating areas, but the wind today was keeping everyone inside. We enjoyed a pizza lunch, inside, and then tried to get into City Hall -- only to discovery that it was closed! So we revised our plans and will return here in the morning instead.
We enjoyed Il Campo and took pictures by the fountain there. We also window shopped through the streets behind Il Campo and then headed back to the Hotel to rest for a couple of hours before going out to dinner.
We dined this evening at a small restaurant called the Two Arches. It was really cute. We enjoyed a simple meal, along with a bottle of red wine - of course!
And now, it is time for bed.
