On Saturday in Cortona there was the Santa Margherita Patronal Festival. Some of us got to dress up and be a part of everything. We paraded through the city in medieval costumes, watched a ceremony in one of the piazzas then climbed up to St. Margherita Church and attended a Catholic mass in Italian.

Sunday was nice, we had a picnic and went exploring.

We found Frances Mayes' house from Under the Tuscan Sun.

Then we just wandered Cortona some more, there are always more sidestreets to explore here.
