Italy Day 6- Side trip to Siena

We decided to do our own tour to Siena.

Here's our bus arriving. We talked our new friend, Mickey, into coming with us and even pressed him into playing tour guide. We "learned" that the Irish helped build Siena. Hard to believe and even though Mickey's Irish we're sure he's telling the truth.

We got off the bus and Mickey saw an Irish pub, so we had to start our tour there. I learned that you can walk into an Irish pub anywhere in the world and order a whiskey and suddenly the bartender is your friend and will help you figure out local sights you should see in town. Of course I had to have a Guinness.

But Eva wanted a lighter beer.
