3/24/12 Orvieto


3/24/12
We went to Orvieto.  It is such a gorgeous city!  It has tourist attractions, but it is not as hectic as Florence or Rome.  It was nice to visit a place without vendors trying to sell you things.  There is well as deep as the tower of Pisa.  The Pope hid in the well to save himself from danger.  There is also an underground city.  We went to eat at Charlie’s, which has the best white wine and pizza.  I also went to the best gelato place ever!  We visited the Duomo.  It was gorgeous!  Then my friends, Delaney and Abby, and I walked around and looked at the stores.  We kind of got lost, but that is ok.  It was awesome to see the city without going through all the tourists’ spots.  We walked around and talked about life.  When we finally found our way, we went to the castle.  The castle was beautiful!  You could walk around the top of the castle.  The view was indescribable.  I just wanted to sit there for the rest of the day.  The day was so amazing.  If I had to live in Italy, I would live in Orvieto!  Love it!  When we got back, we went to dinner.  Afterwards, we went out to have drinks.

I love the group I am with.  They are funny, sweet, caring, and loving.  I could not imagine going on this trip with different people.  The professors are also wonderful.  Dr. Wiese is like a grandma to me.  She is so sweet and caring like a grandmother should be.  Dr. Hammer is hilarious!  Just sit around her for a minute and your abs will hurt from laughing so hard!  Sunni (Miss Sunnenburg) is a little bit older than us.  She is taking classes and doing research to receive her doctorate.  She is a wonderful friend!  She gos out and has drinks with us and likes to hang out with us.  This is a wonderful trip!

Ciao!
