Michele is an old school Camino Pilgrim. He’s not seen at cafés, hotels, or restaurants along the way. He frequents Pilgrim hostels that don’t charge fix prices but asks for donations. Tent camping is one of his option. Keep it simple. Be less needy.
Things are sorted out. What to unpack after a walk which is only 10% of what I packed. What to carry in my backpack during the day’s walk…water, food, mini medical bag, charger. Weighing the risk of starting the day with clean walking clothes or wet washed walking clothes.
Learn as you go. Food fuels energy. Yet too much food makes you sluggish. At the end of a day’s walk it’s a tough call between eating and taking off shoes.
This is Tuscany of my dreams. This is why I walk.
Three landscapes separated by ten minutes of walking.
An early morning start in hopes of avoiding the heat and sunshine. Nothing heard but the sound of roosters.
It’s always about the people.
A long walk got longer at 11am when the sun shines increased and shade decreased.
Pastimes when it’s a “time on feet” walk.
Today’s walk delivered exactly what was expected 97% paved roads, suburbs, commercial and industrial zones. It’s a small part of the big picture with better things to come.
