LETS GO RUNNING!!

Well we have been here another week and our enjoyng our time.
In the center of Orvieto there is a Bell Tower that splits the town into four quarters
and this is the view from the top of the Bell Tower.

I thought I would take you running with me for a day so you can see why I will
probably never run again in the U.S I just dont think I can match
what I get to see here when I go running.

First I exit the main city walls through an old Mid-evil Gate and then continue my way around the mountain that Orvieto is situated on. The Path I run on is about in the middle of the mountain so I get the views of the cliffs above and the hillside below.

Now you might be wondering why I have a picture of an escalator here,
you have three options g to get to the top of Orvieto,

Escalator
Tram
or a long road up hill.

I chose the Escalator this day (it is about 8 escalator segments that cuts throug the middle of the mountain and ends up in the cneter of town) But on a good day I would probably run up one of the paths back to the top.

As I run around the corner from the escalator you begin to get the
view of the Famous Duomo in Orvieto

The home stretch down our road and down the stairs to our balcony!!!
I will take you running on the other side of the mountain next time!!!

Just a few fun photos from our week, Sally in our apartment getting ready to go out. Me and Jacob at the market were we buy most of our food. Jacob waiting for a train in Terni where
we went to church this past Sunday (we left at 9am and got home at 7pm) I dont
think I will ever complain about where my church is again.
