MAY 12: CORTONA & AREZZO


          Today we explored the nearby hill towns of Cortona &
 Arezzo on a day of on and off rain.
Cortona has been popularized recently because it was the setting for the book/movie “Under the Tuscan Sun”.  We looked for the fountain shown in the movie, only to be disappointed when we discovered that it had only been a prop and was not really a part of the central plaza.

In Cortona, Joe found the first of many women he met on the trip.  This a cop, so it was HANDS OFF for Joe.
   












We had dinner in Montepulciano - rotisserie chicken + potatoes, and a side dish of asparagus.  My favorite part of the meal was the homemade catsup for the somewhat dry chicken.
