    June 7, 2013

    The internet in the dorms in Cortona is AWFUL. So I’m going to pretend I’m reflecting during the trip. The days are long.  I wake up at 7:30am everyday.  I share a bathroom with 6 other girls.  One mirror between 7 girls gets interesting.  We have breakfast provided.  It consists of yogurt, crusty rolls, Italian…
