Tuscany

This morning we picked up our rental car at Campino Airport outside of Rome. We took a road that was 3000 years old! Truly amazing. Then we drove north on the autostrada towards Florence. We were going 110 km/h and were being passed. We stopped in Orvieto, which is in Umbria. This hillside town is over 3000 years old, with caves underneath it. After a few hours exploring we ventured back on to the autostrada to make our way to Cortona, in the heart of Tuscany. This walled town is perched high up on the hillside, overlooking the Tuscany countryside. We drove up an extremely windy, narrow road and parked outside of the towns walls. No driving on those little, narrow, cobblestone roads. Only the locals can. We now understand why the vehicles are small. Anything too large would never be able to get around. Our apartment is right in the main piazza. A wedding was going on right there as we came in. We then wandered the tiny, narrow and in parts, very steep streets. Truly picturesque. I can see why they filmed movies here! Another Italian pasta meal. I don't think we will get tired of it, although we may need to walk more! Joe is ready to take cooking lessons, to try and improve on his pasta sauce! And the vino. 2 Euros for a 1/4 litter. Less than water. I guess you know what we are going to drink.
