The Lowdown on Siena, Italy.

If there is one event that is not to missed in Siena, it has to be the Palio (literally, the banner). This medieval horse race is an extremely important tradition for the Sienese, as are the centuries old rivalries between the contrade (neighborhoods)...

If you?re missing that taste of America and are sick of non-stop pasta, then pop into La Rosa for excellent and CHEAP Chinese food. Entrees cost between 2-5 Euro each. Located on Via Pantaneto near the Universita per Stranieri, it?s probably the only fast food you can get up until 11:00pm.

Mail is a huge frustration for many Americans. Because Italy?s system is close to archaic, mail can take from 3 weeks to 3 months to get to it's intended location.
A friend sent me two packages on the same day. One got to me, and the other is still missing in action...
