And a few more fountains…

Grey and a bit damp today. Was feeling a bit like I exist to provide examples of what not to do! The learning is coming, but not easily and the concentration required over 4 hours a day is tiring. John meanwhile has been keeping the home fires burning and finding new places for us to try, both takeaway and eat in, and keeping me going.

A late walk today because of the rain. We are enjoying our afternoon strolls and the fountain hunt is taking us to locations we might not otherwise get to, with little piazzas, shops and churches and some different viewpoints.

I have Maddi, a Victoria University classmate, coming to stay for 2 nights so that’ll vary our routine this weekend.

And here, without further ado, a couple more fountains!

The unicorn contrada fountain needed some TLC.
Some other detail on the unicorn fountain: the white/black panel represents the colours of the symbol for the city of Siena.
The valdimonte (mountain lion) fountain – no obvious symbol on this one, just some pigeons!
This little shrine was around the corner from the valdimonte fountain
The fog rolled in briefly tonight and the Torre del Mangia was shrouded
And then it cleared: the moon above the city
