Some fellow students and I wondered to the edge of the city and found an entrance to the path that wraps around the hill town. We descended down a stone zig zagging path then it changed to a wood bridge cantilevered out from the side of the cliff as it continued down. The view out from the trail to the town at the base and out to the unsettled hills was beautiful. A red train speeds through to Rome. The cliff was massive, out of human scale. We past some Etruscan tombs and areas where tuffa was carved to create space for previous inhabitants to live and protect themselves from the weather. Fascinated with how they did it. What was it like? People all over the Earth are the same. New Mexico and the Grand Canyon there are the same kind of dwellings. Traveling here has definitely furthered my desire to see many other countries to compare the ancient inhabitants living quarters and cultures. Gaining a better understanding of the similarities of man kind all over the world though out history. Where should I go next?
