Wacky random ramblings about wacky random trips


Todi

Todi is an ancient tiny hilltop town in the center of Italy, perhaps 2500 years old. It’s in the county of Umbria, apparently one of the only land-locked counties in the entire country lol

This is literally the entire thing! I think there are like 3000 residents, but it’s very much a tourist destination due to its history, location, and beauty.
There’s where our flat is, just a couple blocks from the highest point of the city (which is occupied by a cathedral from the 13th century)

So why choose Todi? Well, it was slightly at random… many years earlier, we had rented a villa in the countryside outside of Todi, so the name registered. We liked the central location, and honestly the size: last time we tried the whole “work from abroad” thing, the big city just didn’t work out: no easy grocery stores, took hours to get anywhere, etc. In a place like Todi, the whole place is walkable! And so so scenic.

This is the view feet from our local recycling bins 😀

Most of the streets look pretty much like this… this might actually be our’s haha but I’m not totally sure
The local cathedral! Approx seven-hundred years old, it’s a three-minute walk up from our front door
That’s the same cathedral from the opposite side of town
We walked home to this view nearly every night, in almost total silence

So yeah, not a bad place to work for a month!
