On this rainy day it's nice to think of sunny Italy and the wonderful time we had in Siena with our room with a view over the Tuscan Hills. I liked this photo from the fellow who does the "Daily Dose of Imagery" photoblog. We didn't go up this tower...a gadzillion stairs but it was exciting to be where the famous "Palio" takes place that Huxley writes about.
