Not all about Rome
December 20, 2008 After welcoming me home and looking at all the pictures from the trip, my family instantly asks me about Rome. I tell them about Rome but I also let them know that one of the most memorable days of our trip was in Cortona, when a group of us walked around rural Cortona for hours. We were able to see the beautiful scenery, see monks, look
at a castle, take some great pictures, and even saw some chickens. This trip to Cortona showed me that Italy did not consist entirely of the big-city life seen in Rome and Florence. Cortona consisted of a smaller population than all the students in my high school and had only one main strip of great shopping and dining. [The Ostello del Teatro got high marks from our diverse group of palettes - interior/dinner photos coming. - editors] The people were very approachable and it was very different than what I thought of when thinking of Italy. I'm really glad we got to stay there!!
