Cortona - Under the Tuscan Sun













This morning we started our day in the town of Cortona, made famous by Frances May's book and later a movie "Under the Tuscan Sun". Our first stop was to view her villa "Bramasole", a beautiful home on the outskirts of town. The ladies were delighted to pose for photos in front of the villa. The town is perched high on a hill top, only accessible by foot. The narrow street leading to the main square has many interesting shops. The ladies were quite happy to check them out. A few purchases were made. No, let me rephrase that, quite a few purchases were made. The ancient streets wind their way up and down the hills and lead to spectacular views of the valley below. In the main square we were treated to a wedding. A wonderful morning was enjoyed by all.
