An Italian Hill Town - Civita di Bagnoregio 
With the Kellys, we drove north to find Rick Steves' favorite Hilltop Town. 
"Entering the town through a cut in the rock made by Etruscans 2,500 years ago, and heading under a 12th-century Romanesque arch, you feel history in the huge, smooth cobblestones. This was once the main Etruscan road leading to the Tiber Valley and Rome." 
"Inside the gate, the charms of Civita are subtle. Those looking for arcade tourism wouldn't know where to look. There are no lists of attractions, orientation tours, or museum hours. It's just Italy. Civita is an artist's dream, a town in the nude. Each lane and footpath holds a surprise. The warm stone walls glow, and each stairway is dessert to a sketch pad or camera."
The view looking down the way we came from the foot bridge.
Elder Burt with President and Sister Kelly enjoying a well deserved Preparation Day.
A beautiful day with beautiful people.
