Orvieto -- A must see, stay and taste for anyone in Italy

We spent two nights at a fabulous Bed and Breakfast in the cutest town up on the top of a plateau. Just as we showed up, the Taste of Orvieto (a slow food movement festivity) began. If we ate meat, the tasting would have been amazing. For 27 euros you could eat at various restaurants, taste all kinds of wines from the Umbria region and listen to slow food movement presentations. Orvieto was amazing. Rather than explain in words, here are some pictures. We recommend anyone that plans a trip to Italy to spend some time here. However, don't plan on anyone speaking English. This seemed to be the town where many Italians took their holiday. We only found out about this hidden treasure by one of the Italians Ryan worked with last week, Simon. He gave us some great hints. Ciao!
