So it's been about two weeks, and I've been through a whole range of emotions since I arrived in Rome. Now I'm in our hostel in Cortona and thoroughly enjoying the experiences I'm having here. There's so much to do and see just in this one small town! I'm waiting for some funding to go through before I can do any travelling, but I don't mind.
Last weekend we walked up the hill to see the Medici Fortress of Girifalco and the next day out to the Hermitage Le Celle. Tomorrow I hope to walk to one of the Etruscan tombs close by. This evening I went into a Tabacchi to look for an agenda for 2012, and a lot of the shops here look tiny but have connected rooms and basements so there's a lot more to see even in the shops! In this Tabacchi they have an Etruscan well from about 400 BC in their basement, and they set it up with a light and some goldfish, so it looks really cool. Found an agenda, but will have to wait for more moneys to purchase it. I decided the Italian leather would be too good to pass up, so I'm definitely going back.
I'll be posting photos and adding captions/commentary to them, so even if you've seen my photos on Facebook, you'll be able to enjoy seeing them here too, I hope. Keep an eye out for those.
Arrivederci!
