Beautiful Orvieto

Hey everyone so Micaela and I took a day trip to Orvieto which is in the region of Umbria.  This morning we got on a bus (just barely...we had to run around to buy a bus pass because the place we normally go was closed...stressful!) and went to the train station.  We found our platform and asked for some help on the train to figure out which stop we get off at.  We finally arrived and we were not disappointed at all! It was so beautiful.  Compared to Rome it was very peaceful and just very quaint.  To get to the city we had to take a rail car up the mountain about 2000 feet in elevation which was pretty cool.  Once we got up there we explored an old garden that was part of a castle I think. It had some amazing views! We then wondered around and found the duomo cathedral which is unbelievable.  The exterior is just so detailed it's crazy.  After that we ate at this local restaurant and it was soooo good.  I had a pizza and Micaela had a pork sandwich and both were delicious...might have been our most tasty meal so far :).  We ended up walking around the entire city on this walking path that was on the edge of the mountain.  A little old man told us it was between 4-5kilometers.  So it was a decent walk with awesome views.  We also explored some old ruins at a church near the highway...it was kinda spooky but it was fun. We finally made our way back to the train and headed back to Rome before it got darker and colder. It might have been the best day of the trip so far...it was really a great city and it was a lot of fun to get out of busy Rome for a day and see the countryside part of Italy. Miss you all and love you!
