On Saturday, ISA planned a trip to go to Orvieto. A small hill town about a two hour drive from Florence in the Umbria Region. It was so peaceful & beautiful there, it reminded me a lot of Lucca, which was a nice change of pace from Florence.
Orvieto is famous for the ancient city, which are a bunch of caves underground. We were able to tour one of the caves, which was cool to see but kinda of claustrophobic. I got a few pictures..
The Duomo was also really gorgeous. I'm beginning to learn that all the Duomos in ALL the cities are amazing. They are all so detailed, they are like huge pieces of art.
After our tour we had some lunch & did some shopping.
My delicious pasta
Orvieto had a lot of really cute pottery shops. This one place we went into was heaven. Everything was so gorgeous. The artist was working when we went in and she was the nicest women, she was so friendly and helpful when I was speaking Italian with her, she was really willing to help.. which I have found that not all Italians are, or they just immediately start speaking English because it's faster. But I really love & appreciate when they are patient with you & willing to help!
All of her pieces were so beautiful that I had to pick up some things... and some presents too ;)
Here are some pictures of the beautiful view of the town
And some other random photos from throughout the day..
Ciao, Erica xo
