After talking to Martin and Saba we hurried to the train for Cortona- "Under the Tuscan Sun" - I had seem the movie, but never read the book.
It does look just like the movie- red-tiled roofs, warm colored stone, cypress trees ....
It also has more tourists than Assisi - well-heeled by the look of the shops, and the tourists themselves No tacky t-shirt stores here. But there are many Italians, as well as Americans,Germans, and a smattering of English, most of whom look like they walked out of "A Room with a View."
Our hotel overlooks the valley and has a terrace for breakfast. Temperatures are higher than normal, in the high 80s and 90s. It does feel wonderful after our cool summer.
We ran into a wedding on our first day.
