Cortona = Kristin's Reunion (32 years later!)
We got to Cortona late afternoon yesterday. Talk about the quintessential medieval Italy village on a hill! You arrive at the railway and look straight up a few miles to a beautiful walled city on the mountain. We called Rick Johnson to pick us up at the train station. Rick leads the University of Georgia's Art Program in Cortona. He and Kristin …
