Cortona continued




Thursday, Sep 8
Above is part of the original Etruscan wall surrounding the city.

As we walled down the street from our hotel toward the center of town we ran into a bridal party having pictures taken at various points around the city. It was fun to see the young couple, and all the tourists, including me, were taking photos of them. As we got closer to the piazza (one of the many plazas), we heard
the music and saw the guests and all the other members of the bridal party dancing, eating, and drinking on a terrace above us.

We stopped at a cafe for coffee and noticed a group of Americans nearby. One of them
had a Girdwood Search & Rescue t-shirt. He was indeed from Girdwood, though not really a member of the GSR. The group was biking through Tuscany and we ended up joining them at a winetasting on the piazza- free. We had some brunelli wine- a red from Tuscany- which we later found out was 65 euros a bottle. It was very smooth.
