Tuesday - Siena, Orvieto and Rome

Today was an early start as we headed off to visit the city of Siena. After arriving inside the walled city we walked to the place where they have the annual race (to be held next Tuesday) and then continued onto the Duomo where we spent some time looking at the place where St Catherine and her life are remembered.
The work that we did earlier on our Ad-venture preparation certainly paid off as the places where we have visited have been special.
After Siena we traveled to Orvieto - and traveled on the funicular to the Duomo. We had arrived in good time so we were able to get a bite to eat as well as look around the town before spending time in the Church and then celebrating Mass in the Chapel of the Sacred Cloth. So far the three places we have celebrated Mass have each been special for different reasons and I'm certain that the places we visit in the days ahead will also be very memorable.
