Sutri to Campagnano di Roma

Which way do we go?

Hello y’all,  we made it again!  We didn’t get out before 6:00am, but shortly after.  It was a nice cool start, and we knew that we had to get moving, and keep moving. We stopped briefly at 3 miles just to take our bags off, coincidentally at the entrance of a golf course.  You don’t see many of those here.  We stopped at the town listed at the 6 mile point, for the breakfast donut, and drink, and kept moving knowing the heat was coming.  Stopped at 11 miles at a park picnic bench for a quick snack, then finished the last 4 miles.  It was really starting to heat up, the feels like was well over 90 degrees.  We were arrived in town, of course, up on a hill at around 1:30, and were glad to be done.  We didn’t walk with anyone today, we were all on different schedules, I guess.  We did see the folks we know, in town after finishing.  The highlights today were the golf course, I think they look so nice and manicured.  The herd of sheep and peacock that walked up to us within 3 ft. at the park, which was also a kind of animal park.  Tomorrow is our next to last day of walking, another 15 miler.  It is only going down to 69 degrees tonight, so it’s going to be a tough one.  We will grind it out though.  Until tomorrow.

Preparation 2025

 Hello everyone, it’s been a long while since last posting.  It is time for Rudy and I to experience another hike.  This year we will hike the Via Francigena pilgrimage from Lucca to Rome, Italy.  Our hike will be about half as long as last years Camino.  We will hike approximately the same amount of miles per day, but hike only 17 days.  We are in our preparation stage, training and deciding on what we are carrying with us.  We are both excited to see the countryside of Italy, and the different terrain that we may encounter.  I invite you again to follow along if you like.  Our hike will begin on June 30th. I will post a couple of more times prior to our start.  I hope you all are doing well.  Until then!

Cruising

 Hello y’all, after arriving in Germany and spending a few days in Kaiserslautern with my son Nicky, we are now on our first full day of Cruising.  Our experience with Virgin Voyages, at least for the first 12 hours has been fabulous.  Everything is top notch on this ship.  The cabin is small but well laid out, and the food so far is amazing.  I think I have underestimated the amount of weight that I will gain. Our time in Germany with Nicky was mostly visiting, eating, and playing card games.  As Rudy stated again, and we’ve said before, European towns are set up for easy living, you can walk everywhere that you need to go, and we did.  It was a very pleasant visit, and now we get to spend time with both boys on the cruise. No photos, can’t seem to attach them on the ships internet.  Sorry!

Florence and Cinque Terre

Il Duomo Cathedral   Hello y’all, since I last wrote, we spent a day in Florence and two days in Cinque Terre.  We toured Il Duomo Cathedral in Florence.  We climbed to the top of the dome, using the narrow, spiral staircase which seemed to go on forever, for someone who has a little claustrophobia.  It certainly was worth it for the view, both inside and outside the dome.                        Lower portion of the Dome Upper portion of Dome Narrow stairs The view from the top of the dome Sunset in Florence  Off to Cinque Terre, the five towns built on the rocky coasts, and connected originally by paths over rocky mountains, or what I call cliffs.  The day we arrived, we hiked the shortest, but steepest path to Riomaggiore.  This was one of the steepest, toughest hikes that I think I’ve ever done.  Wth that being said, I have a bad memory, there is currently a heat wave here, and I ...
