The Trip-Day 2

Day 2 saw us up and out to the medieval village of Orvieto...situated high on top of a mountain...we had to take a tram up, which was fun as it is better than trying to drive around these small streets...at top speed, because in Italy that's how people tend to drive! Although, the cars are quite a bit smaller...It's still confusing! We walked around a bit and explored the little streets. I bought both some white and black truffle oil and 3 little faces with fruits and one with nuts...Made of Italian clay in the village of Deruta!

Every village has their own church...and the one in Orvieto is quite impressive...

Yes, those are stripes of black and white marble going down the sides...Quite geometric!
















With gold paint and other multi colors depicting various religious themes!










With all sorts of great statues and carvings all around the doors and windows and arches...The churches are quite amazing in parts of Italy...Huge and impressive indeed.

My dad treated us all to an amazing lunch...at a place called Zeppelins where we just sat back and let them bring us course after course of food...including freshly made gnoshi with truffles (wahoo!!) This was my birthday lunch, as everything would be closed on Sunday...for Easter! We had a 3 hour lunch...we didn't eat straight through...and it was enough to make it through the siesta!
Here's a picture of a statue we found (haha) and one of my father after the bit of rain we walked through!

The day ended with a beautiful rainbow!
