Monday took us a couple of towns over to Bagnoregio where we visited Civita di Bagnoregio. The town is 2500 years old and perched atop a volcanic tuff. The cliffs have continuously eroded over the past several hundred years and a couple of years ago most residents were forced to leave. Only ~10 people live there today.
The bridge to get up to the town is an adventure by itself. Not only do I try to avoid heights where my clumsiness can make me nervous, but my sons insist on running over to railings and cliffs and leaning as far out as possible. This bridge was the only way to town.
Once in town, every street and alley led to a wonderful view of the Tiber river valley. Some alleys just had a short railing to keep you from falling from to your end.
You can see Julia is not afraid of heights.Unbelievable day.
