I caught the world premiere of The Transformers at the Odeon in Florence last night, several days before it comes out in the US. It was fantastic and much better than I expected it to be. When you get a chance definitely go see this movie.
Today's Italian city is Siena. I consider it a letdown. The piazza is nice, the tower above it ooverpriced, and the city rather boring. Others gave it a reputation as being a beautiful Italian town, but it looked pretty much just like the other smaller towns I'd already visited. It isn't bad, but wasn't worth taking a day to visit.

Oh Seth, Siena is a gem. Did you get to see the Piccolomini library in the cathedral? How about the paintings in the municipal building under the tower? That has some of my fav paintings in it - the "good and bad government" allegory and a masterful equestrian portrait by Martini.Did you get to Nannini to buy panforte?
The Transformers? They have a movie? That really must have been nice for you. Remember that huge one you had when you were a little boy? Well, of course you remember.
