Chapter 23: Genius

Today we tried to go to Cortona. We went to Castiglion Fiorentino instead. We are dumb.

In all fairness, the main piazzas with the main bus stops look almost identical in the two different cities, and the bus goes to both of them. So if you’ve never been there before and you’re looking on the map for the semicircular Piazza di Garibaldi (yes they have the same name, too) with the ring of cypress trees on the edge, the town wall on the other edge, and the monument of Garibaldi in the middle… well how the heck are we supposed to know which town is the right one?

So we did finally make it to Cortona, which was nice but totally deserted and had the greatest little pastry shop ever.

We still feel like idiots.
