Convocation, a quick trip home, and Orvieto

We made it to Alice's convocation at Queen's and visited relatives in Toronto and Ottawa. Then went to Lethbridge to mow, pick up the pups and head to the cabin. I've returned to Perugia for a month to finish off some work and attend the Umbria Jazz festival which is just down the block. Hot here. But the food and grappa remain good.
Made a day trip to Orvieto which is nearby, but slow to get to by train. Great Duomo and a well that is a double helix so mules could go down and up separate stairwells (250 steps). There was also a parade that afternoon -- that seems to be what people do here for fun.
