Day 2: Travel/Arrive in Orvieto

We arrived in Rome and took the train to Orvieto. Talk about chaos at the train station! We had no idea what we were doing and it took awhile to get our bearings on where to go and the train process in whole. Angela had to use the little girls room at the train station. It was there that we discovered we had to "pay to pee." WHAT?! Yes, it's everwhere, we soon discovered. Culture shock! Finally, we found ourselves on the right train and off to Orvieto. Could not wait to get to our Villa on the outskirts of town. Exhausted at this point but uber excited. :-) Once in Orvieto, we just relaxed and walked the 1/2 mile of hills to dinner which turned out to be the most amazing meal I swear I have ever had. It also started my addiction to focaccia (a certain bread) that I continued to search high and low for throughout the trip.
