The lovely hill town of Oriveto, Italy!


So this sweet, little town of Oriveto is a "don't miss" if you go through Umbria. The town even provided a welcome in the way of a brass band, we thought. Oh, a funeral in the church. That's okay tourists, come on through. Very odd to be doing a tour in a church with a funeral going on. The town was lovely, but it was a twisty and turny road to get there. Amanda didn't know if she was going to make it to the top. You see after the bus dropped us off we had to then take a funicular and then a shuttle to the top. The side walls of the church reminded me of "Beatle Juice" for some reason. I have never seen a church like this one. Great fun! Amanda made it by the way.
