We would have loved more time to explore everywhere. There was a lot to do around our hotel, but we wanted to get to Rome. We got a later start than we hoped for when Preston accidently tried to walk right through the screen door of our hotel room. The hotel was very understanding after James tried and couldn't repair.
We went first to Pitigliano a city built out of volcanic stone with Etruscan ruins. It is known as little Jerusalem because of its large jewish population.
We then stopped by Viterbo and toured the underground caves. There we learned about historical uses of the caves as water ways, then where they experimented with Alchemy plus examples of Etruscan pottery etc. The tunnels were used as Air raid shelters when Viterbo was badly bombed during the second world war in 1943.
After a few frustrating attempts at filling our car with gas we made it to Rome. We kid swapped at the temple so Ian and Annie could attend a session and James and I could go in with Brielle to to Baptisms.
The visitors center was amazing, and there was a playground on site, so the kids were very happy to spend the evening there. It was beautiful!
