Via Views

The breathtaking feature of any of the Tuscan or Umbrian hilltowns is looking to your left or right and seeing a long sliver of golden light and valley view. Such is the case with Via Ghibellina (left).

On Sunday, Cortona appeared to be the day trip of choice for anyone living within a couple of hours. Not to mention the tour buses of foreigners getting their three hours. worth. Via Nazionale (right), the main street, was shoulder to shoulder and a caffe table hard to come by.
