79. Arezzo

Today, Sunday, didn't go as planned as well. We were planning on hanging around Florence, cafe hopping, shopping, generally living La Dolce Vita. Unfortunately, it was raining and everything's closed on Sunday, so we reverted to Plan B, a train trip to Arezzo. Arezzo is about 1 1/2 hours east of Florence, our only foray into eastern Tuscany. It was surprisingly lively for a provincial town, especially on a Sunday. The entire town is built on a slope, with the train station at the bottom, the main piazza pictured here in the middle, and the cathedral and castle at top, whereupon it falls off a cliff. The piazza is sloped as well, and surrounded by elegant 15th century buildings.
