Orvieto

Took a day trip to Orvieto today with my wonderful friend, Alexis. She's from Florida and came to Rome for an internship with IFAD. We set out early and enjoyed walking around the lovely city. It's a great town to see in if you have some time while visiting Rome. Takes a little over an hour to get to by train and the ticket one way is around 7 euro. We had a new gelato flavor that changed our lives. La Musa ... heard of it?

The bus to take us back to the station broke down and we waited for 20 min on a packed bus. It was probably in the high 90's and we were slowly melting in our seats. Fortunately there was a wonderful, older, French couple sitting next to us and after letting the husband finish the rest of the water I had in my canteen. His wife took out her water spritzer and sprayed Alexis and I all over. Thank God for nice french people .... =)

Hope everyones having a great weekend! I'm off to Firenze tomorrow and I'll be back Wednesday night.





we passed a small fruit store and this amazing avocado was sitting uptop on a pile of blackberries.
