    Awesome pictures again. A friend of mine’s family has an apartment right on the square in Siena and they watch the Palio from there. He also has a flat in Rome and land in Tuscany granted to his family by a pope in the Middle Ages. They grow olives there.

    Thank you for your attention to this matter.

                    Today we drove to Siena, an ancient walled city with lots of churches and tourists. On the way there we passed by a pull out trail head sort of thing with a gravel road leading up from there.

                    IMG_0806.jpeg

                    Turns out there is an ancient castle up there which they turned into a restaurant and hotel. Because of course there is. I had more steak.

                    Up the hill farther is a scenic panoramic view, but the view is not great. The hills are dusty and brown. At the view site is an art installation, some stone sculptures. One of them is designed to torment thirsty hikers by looking like a water fountain while being not one.

                    Then in Siena there are churches and doors and churches with doors, which are the best sorts of churches and doors. Also a dollar store.

                    @Horace Great pics. How's the neck fan thing, btw? I've seen more people wearing them lately.

                      You’ve lost weight, relative to the last picture you posted (a piano recording). The new anti-diabetes diet probably helps with that.

                      Thank you for your attention to this matter.
