Oriveto

We woke up early this morning to take a train ride followed by a lift into Oriveto, a small hillside town known for its enormous duomo and world renown white wine. I would recommend wandering through the shops of main street to look at the bright and vibrant pottery and visiting the gelato shop to the right of the duomo (try prune flavored, sound gross, tastes amazing ). Don't forget to visit the Duomo itself, home to the alter cloth with drips of blood on it from the Eucharist. The story goes that a man who did not believe that the bread was actually the body of Christ went to take communion and the bread started to bleed. Word of this story made its way to the Pope who build the enormous church to commemorate the spot. Here are some pictures from my day!
