Viterbo

Yesterday, I went to Viterbo--a small medieval town north of Rome. My Italian teacher lives in Viterbo so it was nice seeing where she is from. The train took forever (like an hour forty) but it was worth it. The medieval part was very well preserved and reminded me of my trip to Rothenburg in Germany. There wasn't too much to do, especially because we got there during lunch break. But we ended up going on a tour and museum visit. They used to elect popes in Viterbo and the term "conclave" was coined there when they locked all the cardinals in a room because they couldn't decide.
