Somewhat unbelievably we are entering our 10th year of leading trips to Orvieto. It kind of snuck up on us. It has been so much fun, so rewarding on many different levels with new friends and wonderful experiences. Little did I know when I did my first trip for city planners it would grow and morph to become what it is today.
That first year I ever visited Orvieto back in 2003 was just days before my group arrived. I had to get the lay of the land to guide them through the learning exercises. Since that time we have developed amazing relationships with the city, the international Slow Cities headquarter staff based in Orvieto, and many individuals, restaurant, cafe and business owners. Just such an unbelievable treat to return twice a year to renew our friendships, make new friends, welcome our guests, and watch the amazing art they produce. Simply fabulous.
I have not been as regular on this blog as I should be. But my blog host sent me a report saying 20,000 people read the blog in 2011. That was a surprise to me.
So it has been fun. We have great trips lined up for our tenth year, and we have trips scheduled for 2013 as well. We are looking forward to many more trips to Orvieto. Thanks to all who have traveled with us, all who follow this blog, and to our many friends developed as a result of our Adventures in Italy.


Big congrats on your 10 year anniversary! Sure glad we got to experience Orvieto with you and Kristi…awesome that you already have trips lined up for 2013!
