Christmas in Orvieto

I went to Orvieto I took 2 trains. One took a half an hour and one took an hour. After the train we had to take the "funiculare" up to the city of Orvieto on the hill. The funiculare is like a little train that is pulled up the mountain by a cable.

After we checked into our bed & breakfast, Ripa Medici, we went to a restaurant where we had the traditional Christmas eve dinner of seven fishes. I didn't try them all but I did try the shrimp, the octopus, clams and mussels. We went to midnight mass. It was in Italian and was in a very old church called a duomo in Italian.

We also got a small christmas tree for Christmas. Then we went on the Santa tracker. After we went to bed
