Cortona

On Monday I went to Cortona with my mom, dad, and Aunt. We rented a car to drive there from Siena. Cortona was on a very high hill. We went inside a church during what seemed to be a windstorm. Which was very loud and cold. We ate at Dolce Maria or Sweet Mary. We were the only ones there. The manager/chef Luigi was very nice and the food was really good! I had Ribollita a vegetable soup. We walked through the streets of Cortona. After that, we looked at the countryside and the Lake Trasimeno, from an overlook. The movie, Under the Tuscan Sun was about and filmed in Cortona. The book was written by Frances Mayes. I liked Cortona!
