Final Stop- Gubbio and the World's Largest Christmas Tree
Gubbio is a delightful town rich with history. We strolled its streets briefly awaiting the illumination of its Guinness Book of World Records tree.
Our Umbria aperitivo was a huge success. Tomorrow, we explore our own little town of Spoleto.
The tree is 650 m high and 350 m wide at its base and consists of 730 multi-colored lights and 8.5 kilometres of electrical cable, placed all the way up the slopes of Monte Ingino, which towers above the city. It can be seen from a distance of 50 kilometres away.
I have wanted to see the brilliance of this tree since we were in Gubbio last Fall. It generated "che bello" from all of us. Our Umbria aperitivo was a huge success. Tomorrow, we explore our own little town of Spoleto.

When I read 'world's largest tree' that is not what I was picturing, but it will do. Haha.
I love the first picture...you are blurred as you raced from the timer on the camera over to the picture. How very Denise.
