Siena & Ravenna

So the past two days have been day trips away from Firenze. Friday we went to Siena, which was a very quaint town. i loved all the winding, climbing streets. The city center was a huge gathering place where they also have horse races. We went into the zebra cathedral (I forget the real name) but the inside was made of black and white stones placed in horizontal stripes. The heads of all the popes went around the top (carved stone ones of course). i think it was one of the prettiest churches i've seen so far. Now, as opposed to the stone heads, the next church we went to had the FINGER and HEAD of St. Catherine. oh yes. i kept thinking "The Finger of Joe Don." i have a postcard of each. this relic biz is wild!
