Cortona 2012—


If you’ve seen the movie, Under the Tuscan Sun, then you’ve heard of Cortona!  The movie and book are about how a woman buys a villa in Cortona and falls in love with Italy. 
I took the train to Cortona and spent an afternoon wandering the streets which included a long lunch (2 glasses of wine with dessert)!!!  For those who are visiting me next, I promised Barbara (the person who made the cake below) that I would return for more cake, wine, and bring lots of friends!!

Busy—very busy!!

 

I hope everyone had a great holiday! 

I had friends visiting during my holiday break---it was a blast—and I miss all of them. 

During the break, I visited Rome, Venice, Siena, Pisa, Sorrento, Amalfi, and San Gimignao!!

I am in my last months of Italy—5 months and I will be back in the States.  Sad smile
