Day 23 (4/27) Last day in Umbria

It was a gorgeous spring day – warm, sunny, perfect blue sky, bright green hills and meadows covered with colorful flowers. We started out by going to Gubbio to see it again in the sun. From there we took a beautiful drive from Scheggia through a mountainous country road to a little town called Sassoferrato. The road was between two mountains – sort of in a canyon. It hugged the side of the mountain and was full of serpentines and at times just wide enough for one car. The views were spectacular. The town itself was bigger than we expected with about 8 churches and five or six palazzettos. Unfortunately all the churches were closed since we got there at siesta time, and the town was pretty much dead. There were some old people sitting in plastic chairs in front of their houses enjoying the warm sun. Now, it’s time to pack. We have to start driving to Rome around 5 am so everything has to be ready tonight.
