Day 1

After a crazy series of flights we made it to Italy! It's about 5:00pm here and I plan on getting some dinner and then going to the apartment and collecting my thoughts about the trip and the first day. I'll post something when I have some more sleep. First impressions of Orvieto: it is a very dense town but fairly small (at least on top of the cliff where we are staying) comfortable, safe, it seems like it will be the perfect atmosphere for whatever the rest of the semester brings. I'm getting excited for a GREAT night of sleep and my first full day to explore the city.
