We are EXHAUSTED!
Spoleto was wonderful, but all of us are absolutely exhausted. We arrived in Spoleto, grabbed a map and some bus tickets, and headed towards … something. We got lost, went in circles, and generally just weren’t having a good time. We asked at a newsstand which bus to take to get to the Duomo – the main cathedral. We hopped on the bus and went uphill (always good to be on a bus when you’re going uphill!). The driver helpfully pointed us in the right way, and off we went. The street was called Via del Duomo, so we knew we were headed in the right way, but it looked like we were on just any old street. And then suddenly, we turned a corner and were amazed at this huge cathedral! It’s just like Italy to hide such a beautiful thing on an ordinary street.
We then went a ways further to a street that went around an old castle, and then walked across a bridge that was built around 1200 AD! It was a wonderful day!
