It’s Sunday. We loaded our bags onto our bus & headed to Umbria. En route we stopped at the village of Gabbio. This is my favorite place of all we’ve seen. Like all of the other medieval villages, this one had picturesque streets, cobblestones, and a wonderful old world flavor. Our local guide took us to a little museum displaying the tools that various craftsman have used over the years. ( masons, carpenters etc). That’s where I saw this ( see picture )very early movie projector. Our guide, then took us to a little shop where a lady was weaving scarves.
Other pix—-this little dog reminded me of my puppy. ❤️Same tail. And the other picture of a Christmas tree was on a poster showing this monstrous tree they create every year that sits at the end of the town. He said it is the largest in the world according to the Guinness book and it was even seen from the International space station! I saw there are some YouTube videos of it which I will look forward to seeing.
Finally, Merle and I went into a little shop where a lady had made table cloths, towels, placemats, etc., and I bought myself an apron and four placemats that she made. Very special to buy things from the person who created them. And Gabbio is full of shops like that.
Our bus then took us to the town of Spoleto where we will stay until Thursday. We are staying at a cute little hotel, which is very quiet. Love it!
I was feeling my best today and I’m sure that contributed to why I had such a good day.😍
