Siena is known for its 17 neighborhoods, each characterized by a different animal. If you are a woman born in Siena, you stay within your district until you marry.
Our group from UAB decided to choose which district we would belong to, and I'm a Dragon! The Dragons' claim to fame is our fellow dragon ancestor, St. Catherine of Siena. I highly recommend doing a quick Google search on her - she was certainly one of the bravest women of all time.
After climbing a million stairs, I got the best view of the entire city from the top of the tower!
I also got to see one of the most marvelous cathedrals I've EVER seen, and that's saying a lot!
