It looks like someone took a knife and sliced a huge rock to form walls around the city...
As we walked to the other side of Orvieto to see different views, we were pleasantly surprised that the town was so nice...
More dramatic stone cliffs:
You know the saying... the grass is always greener? Well, the grass that surrounds this house is literally greener than most other houses. How would you like to have a cypress lined driveway to your house?
We hiked along the ridge of the cliffs...
And it was a workout... I'm a little behind in this picture!
We continued to have stunning views the whole way.
Before heading back to the train station, we walked through the town once more. This is the most colorful church we saw during our Italy trip...
After a good taste of an Italy hill town, it's off to Florence!

This is sooooo beautiful!! It is so weird, but I am readng a book that involves a lot of the areas you are in; and they were talking a lot about the town of Orvieto, which I had never heard of, that it has catacombs underneath the city and that the pope and various treasures from Rome were hidden underneath during times of war etc. any truth to this?? Well thanks for the pictures yet again! Mom
What a pretty town to visit. one question...how on earth did you hike in those flip flops?!? lol That church was really cool, as well as that house! Can't wait to see you all soon!!!!
