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:

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

Our tour guide was kind enough to snap this photo of us:
And the view from that point:

Dinner at Trattoria la Grotta:
Yep, I just ate pidgeon:
Our very kind waiter:
Our last sight before going to sleep:
