The Goofy Route to Gubbio

Beautiful Gubbio on the side of a mountain:

  Because the children had read about St. Francis taming the wolf, we were all excited to visit the town of the story, Gubbio.  We thought it should be about 40 minutes.  The signs were nonexistent as usual and the maps nondependable (who would know there was a landslide that closed the road?) so we trusted the GPS lady once again.  

We found ourselves driving through a corn field (bumpety bump) on the "fastest route" on our way to Gubbio.  You should have seen those farmer's faces when they had to pull their tractors out of the way.  The GPS lady must have been laughing her butt off.

All of those beautiful churches, frescoes, museums...mostly the children enjoyed the super playground.  Its a kids' world even here.
