Orvieto

Ok so these posts are going to be fractionally out of order. The next post has some stuff from Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday... this one deals with Wednesday. Whatev.

So Wednesday, March 23 we went to Orvieto. It was a pretty rocking place. Mostly I found it very scenic and a pleasant place to hang out. It was kind of crawling with tourists, but yeah, that happens.

To be totally honest not that much happened, we just goofed off and saw a lot of coolness, so I'm going to just let the pictures tell the story.

Kind of hard to see, but to get to the town you have to take a nearly vertical train from the main train station


Gothic, meet Romanesque.


The town likes flowers


I took this right before I saw the vietato fotographia sign... oops.


More cool streets in town


The old city walls form a park, the new city is visable at the bottom of the hill


The park at the old fortress was really nice


More views of the park


Buildings on the walls


That is a long ### drop


Andrea and Caitlyn on the wall (500 foot drop behind them... yeah)


The new town centered on the train station



A wider view of the walls, mostly a natural rock formation


Walking along the walls


Our group found a playground...


Why did we take these pictures with the sun behind us...


Jim and I got stuck in the spider web


Laura loves tennis


Andrea loves... stumps?


The train ride back down to the station... this was like a 30 degree angle at least

So that wraps up our adventure in Orvieto. It was pretty cool. That spider web sucked though, it was hard to beat off the giant spider that almost ate us. Thankfully Caitlyn carries a shotgun with her at all times...
