Today we drove along the Via Cassia from Rome to Orvieto. Our main stops were a hike along the Via Francigena (Pilgrim Way); the ancient town of Sutri, largely carved from volcanic tufa; and Civita Bagnoregio, perched on a steep eroding pinnacle in the middle of a huge canyon. Wonderful weather, and a lovely day.
