Today is day two of – what else can we eat?!, I mean what other wonders of cultural significance can we find on a morning drive across Tuscany. First stop, Cortona. Some say the first settlement started 273 years after the great flood. The earliest recorded history is from the 7th century BC. Cortona then because a Roman colony complete with amphitheater. In the 13th century it because a city state with its own currency. It was sold to Medici family in 1411. It was sunny when we drove in, it was not so nice when we came out of the last church. We sat down to warm up with a nice cappuccino and and espresso both of which were €2.20 including tax, unbelievable.
