Albergo La Perla, Via Delle Terme N. 25, Piazza Indipendenza 25, Siena

That was the address of where we stayed in Siena. One of the pics is from our room and the other is to our room. (yes, that's Jamie in the window) Siena was so cool with the extremely narrow streets that give this, and many European towns, their character. The place was only steps away from the Piazza del Campo, the main plaza.

The Palio of the Contrade de Siena is a great horse race that happens twice a year in the plaza. 17 different 'families or districts' are represented and each has their own flag and colors. This was a celebration of a victory of the Sienese people over the Florentines. A must see!
