After a few quick days in Rome, we headed over to Orvieto for a week of mosaic class and small-town exploration. We spent the week in a convent, San Lodovico, with three of the sweetest nuns you could ever hope to come across.

Bill and Kristi, our Orvieto angels, ensured every day went off without a snag — and they did, and it was wonderful. Here’s a handful of Orvieto, and more to be seen in the gallery below:
