A Day of Surprises!

8/13/2014

Neither of us knows exactly what to say about today; it is all too amazing.  

We left Rome dragging behind us, down the street, over curbs, past the vendors and beggars, and through the Metro line, Wilson, in a box.  Wilson is heavier in a box. We made it to the car and ring roaded out of Rome. All of a sudden we were in the ancient city of Sutri at the amphitheatre. Built in the Roman period and waiting for us today; it was delightful to explore.

We wove our way through tiny towns on SS4 to Orvieto. The best thing that happened today was to see the way Britt’s jaw dropped when we made the left turn around the buildings and the Orvieto Cathedral, instantly and without notice, filled our entire vision.  Massive and ornate, right in front of us; imposingly.  Britt has never seen anything like this ever before.  We stopped the car in the middle of the main square.

Wilson is still in the box!

Are you going to ride Wilson down the roads when you leave?

Glad you found the tower.
