Towns on top of hills

After the disaster of Florence, Orvieto was a welcome breath of fresh air. Literally. I think it may be the only area in Italy that doesn't stink like sewage!
Its a tiny little town that was so sleepy and small we found our way around it in a matter of hours. Very pretty little streets. Its up on a hill so we had to take a furnicular to get to the town. We enjoyed our hotel where we lived a little like kings trying out the life of poor people. We at least had our own bathroom, even if it didn't have a shower or hot water.
The following day we went to Civita. This involved me racking my memory until I remembered the name of the town that Rick Steves and my mother reccomend visiting, buying bus tickets to a neighboring village (not as easy as it sounds), and then walking about 20 minutes to Civita. Its a town of seven people, including MAria, the old lady who invites you to see her garden and then charges you for it. It was very pretty, if only because it was so isolated and old. Can't figure out how to paste a photo on this computer so you'll justy have to google it yourself. Its the one that looks like a tiny town on top of a hill.
Now we're in Roma but have yet to explore. Tomorrow we meet Joe's friend, Tariq, who he went to Ecuador with. Tariq has been reporting in Iraq and other dangerous things like that. Will be intereting. Not sure how long he will stay with us as he has no plane tickets.
