We are in Siena and are getting ready for the big town horse race. It happens twice a year and is a huge deal for the locals. The horses are blessed in the church before they race. The main square is turned into a track by putting up mattresses along the walls and dirt is brought in and packed down. We are a little nervous about going... Supposedly 60,000 people are packed into the middle of the square to watch and you can't get out for a couple hours till the race and parade are over. I will try to post pics while we are inside!
