some girlies from valdimontone waiting to enter the piazza.
even the babes donned their shawls
le contarde paraded through the streets of siena. i liked it when they threw the flags up in the air and then caught them, it was rather graceful and attractive
forza l'onde la mia contrada! best looking contrada out there
the parade eventually made its way into the piazza del campo. it was very slow moving. you have to do something to keep the crowd entertained while they stand around for three hours waiting for the race to start.
an unattractive picture of a very attractive man i saw while waiting.
after all the waiting the race finally commenced and it was so exciting and was over in about 90 seconds. i'oca won---i wanted bruco to win--- the people went wild and screamed and cried and threw themselves on the floor just like nonna said they would...more or less. i was very bad about taking picture/video of the race and the festivities that took part there after so you should visit this girls bolg because she is much better than me about that kind of stuff and she toats adorable.
whoa for the palio!
ps sorry this post is lame im rather tired but if i dont post now i never will. but know even though my post sucks the palio does not. it was awesome! per davvero
