This morning we left the hotel and rode on the bus for about an hour to meet our local guide. \u00c2\u00a0We hiked on a trail and up and down steps to learn about the tombs. \u00c2\u00a0The first people that discovered them stole anything of value in them, but luckily, they didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t find all of the tombs. \u00c2\u00a0Some of the items are on display in a couple of the larger museums in Italy.<\/p>\n

We next went to the town of Pitigliano where lots of Jewish people lived. \u00c2\u00a0Now there are only three Jewish people living there. \u00c2\u00a0During World War II many residents in the town hid the Jewish people from the Nazi\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s, so that no Jew was captured. \u00c2\u00a0A famous cyclist used his status to get papers for many of them. \u00c2\u00a0Because of his bravery, they recently started the Giro D\u00e2\u20ac\u2122italia bike race in Israel.<\/p>\n
