Siena take 2! This time for the famed Palio. |
The flags of each contrada. |
If you try and try again... Made it into Siena's Duomo the second time around. Definitely worth it! |
The most successful contrada, represented by "l'oca." |
Siena from up high! |
Our group, minus 1. |
The piazza had been transformed! |
Messing with cameras, like always. |
This horse was taken into the church to be blessed. I'm not kidding. |
The winning horse, hours before the race! A horse and its boy, haha. |
Alfred, my Italo-Taiwanese friend. |
Veronique. |
It was a close race between this man... |
...and this girl for happiest person in Siena on that day. |
Getting ready! |
The flag of the contrada I was rooting for. |
The fall that knocked out 6 horses. |
70 seconds later, everyone celebrates a great Palio. Thanks, Siena! |
