Our final days in Italy were spent in the small town of Siena and a day trip out to San Gimignano. Unfortunately, most of our final days were in the rain, but the sun finally came out on our last 2 days in Italy.
San Gimignano
San Gimignano is a small walled in town with lots of medieval towers, which reminded us a bit of Cortona. It has cute churches, a great view of the countryside of tuscany, and several piazzas. A cool piazza is called the Piazza della Cisterna, named after the underground cistern in the middle of the piazza. San Gimignano is small enough town to see the sights and do lots of shopping.

Siena
Siena is a small city/town with lots of cool medieval architecture. We saw the Piazza Del Campo, the Tower, Siena's duomo (a large and beautiful cathedral), and the Piazza Salimbeni. Siena is famous for the Il Palio, a town horse race that occurs twice a year in the Piazza Del Campo. We also finished all of our Italian shopping. We ate twice at this fantastic sandwich restaurant/bar and had our last Italian meal at a chic restaurant. Our last Italian meal was delicious, where we had great pasta dishes, a yummy duck dish, a tasty dessert and awesome red wine. It was a great end to our last night in Italy. We were incredibly sad to leave Italy because we LOVE it. We miss you, Italy.
