A post to get us through Friday: Siena, Italy

Example of Italian architecture, and
well dressed Italian men.
Thank you Pentax DSLR.

It was one of those weeks where I had that moment, where I really really really need a vacation. I also saw "Eat, Pray, Love" this week, and really wanted to go back to Italy, eat copious amounts of pasta, gelato and drink a ton of wine, look at amazing clothes, and look/gawk at amazingly well dressed Italian men. So let's go to Siena Italy shall we?

Siena Italy is a wonderful City in the Tuscan region, a perfect place to stay if you want to tour the vineyards, but don't want to pay the high prices. I was there in October and thought it was a perfect time to visit. Siena lends itself to getting lost on its winding streets, and during the fall the colors of the buildings become that more vibrant. Its a wonderfully preserved town. It wasn't completely run over with tourists either, so you can stroll along at your own pace.

While in Siena we stayed at Albergo Bernini, it was perfect.  In fact aside from the place my friend and I stayed in Capri, this was our other favorite place. Its a charming B&B, in a great location, the owners are amazing, always making sure your stay is perfect. They helped us arrange a day tour of some Tuscan vineyards, which is a must, because you will fall in love with Truffle Oil...and the wine. 

The City does a great job at lighting
during the evening.
