I always wondered what Cortona would be like in winter, and now I know. The same wonderful people, the same beautiful town, albeit a little quieter, and the same feeling like I’m home…ok, also colder and sometimes rainy, but certainly warm compared to Chicago.
Benita and I took the train from Roma last Saturday and spent two wonderful days and nights in Cortona. It’s an incredible feeling to walk through the market or down a street and recognize so many faces. We shopped, walked, ate, drank, talked and laughed with our wonderful Cortonese friends.
I think the pictures and smiles tell the story!
Grazie ai nostri amici per un tempo meraviglioso!
And Len, this one is for you…un baccino from Daniela!
Can’t wait to return this summer!
Ciao,
Judy

What a coincidence…or not! I was just adding a couple of photos of Cortona to my website. I’ve had them since March but just got around to it today.

Judy Judy!!! John and I loved your post on Cortona. And it was fabulous seeing pics of Ivan (last summer’s BBQ at his parents home is still etched in our Italian memory). Our next trip is in September and it wouldn’t be complete without a stop in Cortona. And more pics of Ivan and his family. Of course in my perfect world y’all would be there at the same time. No matter. We are forever connected thanks to your wonderful blog. Ciao, jean
