This first picture is of one of the contradas (nieghborhoods) marching around Siena, banging drums and basically showing their pride for the Palio.

This second picture is the Duomo in Siena.

This is a picture taken from inside the city walls looking down at the street. You can see the wall is pretty big!

And then this is one of the entrances to the city. They are really cool!

And finally, this is of course the sign made at the world cup party. I thought it was funny whoever made it, Paraguay is really little with a -_- face haha

Sunday I ended up exploring Siena with some of my classmates. We first went to mass at the Duomo, followed by of course a day of shopping!! It was a perfect lazy Sunday. Yesterday was the World Cup match between Italia and Paraguay! We had a party for it at our school and watched the game on a big projector screen on the wall. It was really fun. Also, there were lots of students from the other programs there so it was the first time we got to meet everyone. The game was really good and someone was always screaming at the game haha. They get so into it! Italia and Paraguay ended up tying, but at least it is not a loss. I come home in exactly two weeks. I can't believe how fast time is flying here!
