Cortona - No, I did not stalk Frances Mayes...

So, having read the whole Under the Tuscan Sun series, Cortona was on my must-see-in-Tuscany list. And fair enough, Frances, it's darling! What a cute town. We sat on the church steps in the main piazza, wandered the morning market, and got ourselves the best roast pig sandwiches (ever!) for lunch. (Check out the butcher - as if he was cast for the part!) And then the rain started. Not little rain. Big cracks of thunder kind of rain. We found some cover and ate our sandwiches then put up our hoods (we live in Oregon - of course we have hoods) and wandered a bit more. I did not see Ms. Mayes, or Bramasole, but even in the rain, I did love Cortona.
