In Cortona with Bruce

Click to enlarge

We took the train today to Cortona, a beautiful ancient Tuscan hill town. A day of pure misery, as you can plainly see. 

But first - the square outside my hotel last night - Matisse blue and gold.

Sign in Cortona - no caffe, no hoppines! Bruce agrees.

The view. Tuscany. Red and green.

A beautiful very old church door sideways, for some reason.

Inside - the usual plain little altar

Brooche taking in the most beautiful Fra Angelico Annunication - the angel's wings, Mary's face, the gold everywhere - stunning

Downtown Cortona, Bruce consulting his map

A letter box

 A New Yorker cartoon that struck us both as funny on the train home - should be at the end

 
 Another crummy little view

 Une converzatione - gatos

 The main piazza - with obligatory Vespa

Mon amid with gelato. Two flavours. MMMMM.
