1. What is my little friend's name?
Wilson
2. Where was she born?
Arezzo (Home of Vasari)
3. Why was she in a box?
To get ready for her first plane ride home to Canada.
It was necessary to have her boxed with the air removed from her tires. We ended up trashing the box because it was too bulky to drag around and she was shipped home in a soft cover bag.
4. What was the name of the town?
Sutri
5. Sutri's monument of greatest worth is shown in the photos above and below. What is it ?
Ampitheatre
6. What makes this amphitheater (Italian: Anfiteatro) so unusual? (pick two answers) ~I am trying to trick you here~.
The exterior doesn't have any architectural form and
It is carved by the removal of rock instead of built by the addition of rock
7. Pick the date range associated with this site:
Between the last years of the first centurey BCE and the first years of the first century CE
8. What is different in these pictures?
Deb's head looks like a coffee bean.
Britt ditched Deb in the middle of the Sutri town square and went off to look for chocolate.
Deb went inside a small and unassuming store front. Without any warning, it happened during a wild haircut administered by a red-headed woman wielding huge scissors, wearing a tight-fitting surgical gown, who didn't speak English and who displayed an evil twinkle in her eyes. Deb gestured to her for a haircut because everyone had been mocking Deb's hair ever since the Agrigento temple pictures and the windy photo on the top of Mount Etna put the whole hair thing over the top! The evil eyed red-head took Deb to the back of the salon, strapped her in a chair and tightly wrapped a plastic gown around Deb's shoulders. She said a lot of things in Italian then threw her head backward as an evil laugh echoed through the rows of petrified shampoo bottles. The sharp and speedy scissors clipped it all faster than a curling iron could flatten a single loop. Britt, munching on a croissant, came into the salon at one point to see how it was going. She stood in horrified silence as she stared at her travelling partner who now could easily be mistaken for a coffee bean. Deb was released from the chair, raised herself slowly, then stepped over the mound of historic curls that lay motionless on the floor. She handed the red-head 10 euros and escaped. Britt and Deb naturally, went to a coffee shop next so Deb could feel at home with bags of local beans.
9. We continued on our drive until we saw this town. What is this town?
Orvieto
We first saw it from a great distance and stopped the car to admire it.
You will have to wait until tomorrow for the Orvieto quiz but included below are more photos of Sutri.
