Arezzo, Italy I

A few days before arriving in Arezzo, I called Lory, an owner of a bed-and-breakfast in the town where I had booked a room.  It was funny that she spoke Italian rapidly and I seriously lacked the ability to understand her language, but somehow we managed to communicate and made a plan for my arrival.

My train for Arezzo was delayed and I got there 20 minutes late.  But, much to my relief and just as Lory had told me, her husband Alteo was waiting for me with his black SUV.

During a short ride to their place, Alteo gave me a quick tour of the town.  Arezzo seemed to be a busy, moderate-sized city with a small-town feel and long history.  We drove past some neat-looking squares and at one he pointed to a cafe where a scene was shot for the film Life is Beautiful, one of my favorite Italian movies by Roberto Benigni.  People were enjoying lunch outdoors under the bright sun...  I was already loving this Tuscan town even before I started to explore.
