Yesterday we drove to Cortona. Jill and Stefana wanted to see Fra Angelico's Annunciation at the Diocesan Museum. "In this scene, Mary says "Yes," consenting to bear God's son."
I wasn't able to take any photos inside, but here's my admission ticket.
Everything was so beautiful and the colors were just fantastic. Amazing that they were so bright. They were talking about the artwork being cleaned. There were also vestments from the 16th centuries, with gold threads.
It was lots of fun walking around the little village. We ate at a great restaurant called Locanda al Pozzo Antico. I have to remember to write something on their website.
On our way home, we stopped and bought groceries. Had a small dinner. Off to Siena tomorrow - it's midway between here and Florence.

Oh sounds amazing! I bet you will never eat this good again!
Seriously, I am wondering why you are even on the computer! Have fun and enjoy the great food.
Looks beautiful there! Enjoy some gelato for me!
Even the ticket is lovely!
It's fun to see these scenes. I went to Rome once, so long ago that I barely remember.
I love your photos! I'm so glad that you're having a good trip.
The stone walkway and buildings look so awesome! I'm glad you're having a great time!
Beautiful photos! Thanks for letting me stroll along with you.
