Looks like we got off on the right stop:

That's Orvieto on the hill behind Chris:

Up the side of the hill on the Funicolare:

The Orvieto Duomo (with a tiny Chris in front of it):

We enjoyed some Orvieto Classico wine and Pistachio Gelato and a great view:

A preserved olive oil workroom in a cave:

The well (with the carved handholds):

Medieval pidgeon coop in the cave:

Emily just outside the entrance to the caves:

Our tour guide was kind enough to snap this photo of us:

And the view from that point:

Emily in one of the gorgeous little alleyways of Orvieto:

Il Mago di Oz (ironically, the only time he wasn't grinning from ear to ear):

Dinner at Trattoria la Grotta:

Yep, I just ate pidgeon:

Our very kind waiter:

Our last sight before going to sleep:

Backpacking out of town before dawn:

On the edge of the cliff:

Marta made us feel very welcome in Venice:

The key to our room:

A beautiful woman in a beautiful city:

Waiting for the Vaporetto:

Emily's ready to go chase pidgeons:

The Grand Canal by day:

And by night:

Our Gondolier:

And one very happy couple:

Now in Florence, so happy to back with Emily and Mike:

Donatello's haunting Maddalena:

Up and up and up we go to the top of the dome:

But it was worth the effort:

Mike and Emily at dinner:

Chris and Emily across the table:

Look at the smile this put on her face:

"Spaghetti" in Capitale di Cina restaurant:

Looking homeward across the sea:

What a gorgeous place to visit! I am 110% jealous.
