Siena

Last Saturday we all went to Siena which is 1.5 hrs away and south of Florence (this is a good website for you to go to if you don't know a lot about Siena: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siena). We saw the old part of Siena. It is a big round wall on the top of a hill and inside the wall are lots of old houses. The streets are made of cobblestones but they don't look like streets they look like pavements. In the middle of Siena there is a big piazza called Piazza del Campo. At the moment it has been set up for a famous horse race called The Palio horse race. We ate ice creams and I had panna cotta and crema.

On Sunday my Mum and Dad went to Venice for a night and Mindy and Sharon looked after all the kids and on Tuesday they left. I will miss them a lot. My next post will be about the food we made while they were here.
