So we have really loved Rome! It is an amazingly alive city especially at night! But our greatest adventure while in Rome actually came on our last day!
We decided to leave and go see another hill town. Much like our wine tour of Chianti we went to the town of Orvieto which is also a wine town. All I have to say is that you have to see the pictures, but from Orvieto we went to the small town of Civita.
This place is incredible. It has a population of 14! That's smaller than Eatonville! It is a place where the Etruscans lived in over 2500 years ago!!! You can only get there by walking up this long bridge. Picture the Grand Canyon in the middle of Tuscany. A little mountain with sharp cliffs surrounding it. It has a wall built all around it and the city is inside. We saw pictures of this town from when pictures were first available and it looks the same today! Anyways this was one of the coolest places we got to see! I can't wait to show you the pictures!
