Today’s itinerary was Todi, Assisi, Gubbio, Cortona. Assisi was fine, but not being Catholic, St. Francis isn’t particularly relevant to me. I knew nothing about him except he was a monk, he was a saint, he founded the Franciscan order, and they named a Mission in Northern California after him.
Just as predicted by all the forecasts we could find, we had a little light rain at Gubbio. In the background is the Roman Theater.
Gubbio was actually quite nice, one of our favorites so far. We avoided most of the rain staying under covers and awnings like this, and wandered around the centro storico. We dodged the rain for the rest of the afternoon until our luck finally ran out at Cortona. The last ten minutes to the hotel it came down in buckets. The gear is drying out in the hotel rooms. Luckily there’s a restaurant at this hotel so we don’t need to ride any more tonight.
