Gubbio

March 20, 2011--I am making headway on these blogs!! Good job, Suzanne.

Last September we all went to Gubbio. Larry and I had originally gone there when we came here to go to school. However, it was pouring rain and we only had about an hour to look around. Instead, we stood under an awning and watched the rain bounce up about 2 feet! Larry took his mom to visit when I had my broken ankle so this was really mine and little Larry's first visit.

It is a beautiful area and was very green while we were there.





Here is Larry being silly!
















A look at the castle.















Just thought this was a nice building.















This was truly a photo op with the stairs and the colorful leaves.


















A double arch.


















Larry son getting his hand bitten off!
















This arch is a little more rustic.













This is a tram that was even more scary than it looks! First they helped me get on....















then we are both on board.

















This is the view from the tram.














Larry son having fun!













We saw this inside an old church, but I have no idea what they are.



















These ruins are just outside of Gubbio.

Thes pictures are great! What a wonderful adventure and retirement. I'm putting my house on the market as soon as they install the sump pump!

Those objects which you didn't know: they are some kind of objects for the prayers. When you will arrive to the church you could put those objects turning around and wish silently your pray. I suppose that you also could donate some money for the church. I recall that those object have been made by monks.
