Our second day in Cortona started out with a buffet breakfast in our hotel -quite an impressive spread.  Croissants, Crostata (a baked italian jam tart), fruit, yogurt, cereal, eggs, proscuitto and some other meats.  A sweet Italian lady was making drinks for everyone and we both had a cappucino.

It was a beautiful day, the nicest our entire trip -sunny and warm… I was so excited we could wear short sleeves!  We headed out to the town to do some more sightseeing.  This time we took a path that went below the town.   

There was actually a couple of escalators that took you back to the top (why I didn’t take a picture of this, I don’t know). 

Then, Funnel and I headed back up the stations-of-the-cross-path to the church.  It was much harder climbing up that path then going down it.   We found some paths that led even further up the hill, above the church.

We were both tired from walking uphill, so we sat on a bench for awhile and just took in the beautiful views.  It was so peaceful – the only sound were the birds singing.

Then we headed back into town and Funnel and I made a plan to meet up for lunch after he took a nap and I did some shopping.
