A leisurely start to the day with cold pizza for breakfast. We were the last of our group to leave the villa, then drove to Cortona, being led all the way by our GPS girl. She is very strict, although her Italian pronunciation is very bad. Cortona is a crazy place, with slopes that seem to go straight up. Tough for old coots like us. Thought we were gonna die. You need to be in good shape to be Italian. Strolled the shops, looked at fancy purses, and ate a gelato. Then back to the villa for a rest. Tonight, we’ll go to Monte San Savino and eat at a restaurant recommended by our local vintner.
