Orvieto Day Trip

Hello!

Today, my day started around nine where I went to get breakfast with my parents.  Their hotel is within walking distance of my apartment.  After some tasty scrambled eggs, we were picked up by our tour guide, Angelo, for our trip to Orvieto.

Orvieto is right near where my last day trip was to, Umbria.  We started out at the Cathedral of Orvieto, which had a remarkable architectural exterior.  The interior wasn't as overwhelming as St. Peter's, but still nice nonetheless.  From there we went and did an underground tour of the caves of Orvieto, and then got an amazing view of the countryside.

Lunch today was awesome.  We had our tour guide order our food for us, so we started with bruschetta, then split 3 different pastas, and then had a meat course.  I think it was the best meal that I've had so far.

My parents are here until Wednesday, and we have another trip planned for Tuesday during the day.  I'll post details as they come.
