July 30, 2007 Another traveling day...
We headed to Florence and Orvieto today. Since it was Monday, many of the sites were closed in Florence. We decided to skip this city and take the train to Orvieto. We arrived in Orvieto. Found a room. This was a "Bed NO Breakfast." We stayed at Valentina's. I never actually met "Valentina", only her assistant Karmen. We had to barter for the price of this room.
Tonight, we had a feast at Antonico Bucchero's Restorante. Our meal was delicious!
Antipasti: Bruschetta with tomato, zucchini, deli meats, and a vinagrette/oil
Noodle Dish: Tortelloni in tomato-based sauce
Main Dish: Lamb
and Orvieto wine (my favorite!)
We visited with a couple of Aussie gals during the trip to Orvieto. I quickly became jealous that they were spending 9 weeks in Europe (and had just come from Greece). Jim about died when he heard they were vacationing that long.
