It is not the typical medieval (gothic)designs that I remember from my arts history classes. It gave of a more lively feel. Everything seems to be alive in this city. Seeing the house where St. Catherine used to live was my favorite part in our trip here as well as her head in the San Domineco Church. My least favorite part? When I got sick after it rained:) We had to half walked and half ran to get to the bus. But the rain came from GOD so it is a grace. Or it maybe St. Catherine's tears as we left Siena :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-746266951296679266.post-35586758896066002922009-07-25T14:52:36.853-05:002009-07-25T14:52:36.853-05:00Siena was my favorite city, though I truly enjoyed...Siena was my favorite city, though I truly enjoyed all the cities we visited. I think I loved being somewhere I know was meaningful to Pier Giorgio, but also I felt like we had stepped backwards hundreds of years in time in some way. I could almost feel the presence of those who lived in the time of St. Catherine as we "rubbed shoulders" with so many other visitors and with those who live in Siena. Catherine's writings have come alive in a new way which I am still exploring.Michele C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14575745086146862428noreply@blogger.com
