Villa Borghese

       This morning we left for Orvieto, another Tuscan hill town a little bit bigger than Cortona. As apart of our art class, we toured the Cathedral there, which was again gorgeous from the outside, much like the cathedral in Siena.

       After lunch, we left for Rome and started off there by going to the Villa Borghese. We saw more art from High Renaissance and Baroque periods, which was a nice change of pace from the art we have been seeing from 200-400 years earlier. In my opinion, it is all much better and I like the artists (Da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo, Bernini) better :).

       We finally got to our hotel, which is far from the center of town (a little bit of a bummer). And here I am in bed early. Tomorrow we spend all day at the Vatican and St. Peters!

Btw- I am making another list of funny Dr. Zuraw quotes, so be on the look out.
