Family Vacation in Italy- Todi, Umbria (2)

The city of Todi is on a hilltop halfway between Perugia and Terni. The guide book said that Todi today would not have looked very different during the Middle Ages. The castle like small city is situated on the top of the hill or small mountain. We had to park the car in mid-hill parking lot and took the cable car up to street level. The cable car runs for 24 hours, that means many people spent long evenings there. One evening we had dinner in Todi Street restaurant. Surprisingly, we saw a large group of people, all dress in white, white shoes, white wine too. It was called a "White party", on the square in front of cathedral. It was a festival for this area, not appearing to have any religious meaning.
In Todi, a medieval city/town, the streets are narrow paved with hand cut stone. Main floor is on street level, after entering, you need to go up up or down down to another different rooms, depends upon which side of the stores or restaurant located.
When you were in town, there were a lot of walking and hills. I felt not young anymore!(8/19/2018)
