Orvieto

Later in the day we drove to Orvieto in search of matches, money and a church to attend Mass. On the way we ran into this slice of heaven:

Orvieto from afar:

Orvieto is a medieval wonderland. The duomo, or cathedral, is absolutely stunning:

Walked around the town and found out that Mass at the cathedral was at 6:00pm, so we decided to come back later. Ate  a lunch of pasta with wild boor  and saw this extremely tall woman

Then we went back to the apartment for a while, driving the rather maddening Italian roads through glorious countryside

Sunsets from our apt. are beautiful

Orvieto at night

The bank machines were not working for a while, but we were finally able to get some money. Also found a lighter for sale. It is surprising how hard it was to find matches.

Mass in the cathedral was beautiful. Went home to build a fire.
