Holy Spoons ~ 20th March

After spending considerable time waiting for this 'long awaited' eclipse with lots of excitement (from most of the family) we waited outside in the blistering heat to speculate this fantastic and unique event. After a considerable while longer nothing had happened and the only noticeable change was getting a few degrees cooler and the noise of the British public on TV increasing by several decibels from the wonderful experience they were supposedly experiencing.

Later in Siena we walked round a lot, then climbed a lot and then went round a museum which was full of weeping angels and other such statues and a floor dedicated to holy spoons and candle holders. Which was fascinating and delightful! After that we visited the 3-parts of the Duomo and saw lots of church which was also fascinating. My parents were dead pleased with themselves when the found a shop selling 70p coffee and macaroons at a chocolate festival.  After  that we'd seen everything so we went home.*
*it was nice.
