Trip Wrap-Up

---

Today is our last day in Italy, and the time has gone much too quickly. We did no blogging in Orvieto, because they only seemed to have one Internet Point in the city, and that spot did not allow us to upload any photos.

We are now back in Florence, and spent the day touring museums and the city in general.

Tomorrow we board the plane early for Paris, and hope to make our connection to take us on to San Fran.

View from our room
This is the view from our room in Orvieto - not bad for a convent.

The Duomo in Orvieto
Oddly enough, we walked for hours in the small hilltop town of Orvieto before we were able to find the Duomo, but it was worth it.

Etruscan Tomb
We also toured the Etruscan tombs that have been excavated just down the hill from the town of Orvieto. These tombs date from the first and second centuries, B.C.

Wall Walk
We also discovered this amazing walk along the old defense wall of Orvieto. It offered wonderful views of the city.

Florence
In Florence, we walked up a hill to a nice viewpoint, which offered stunning views of the city.

Church Ceiling
This is the ceiling in one of the churches we toured today. Because it is a holiday in Italy, a number of these sites were free.
