Arriving at the gate, “Porta Santa Croce” I am greeted by a fellow Italian Piligrino. In total, I have met nine Italian (seven reunited in Assisi), five Brazilian (stopped walking), two other Americans, and one German (lost contact). Alas, the Basilica Assisi.

Dashed hopes of arriving to the Assisi Basilica clean. My muddy boots feel like lead weights. As the saying goes, “A pound on your feet is like five pounds on your back.” Keep following the signs to Assisi.

Test your skill at finding clues. See the clue? On the lower right is a rock with a green dot of paint. Like the children’s book, Where’s Waldo,? clues are hidden everywhere. It becomes a game finding clues. If you don’t play this game well, you may end up walking extra miles.

Fork in the road. Which way? See the clues on the upper right section of the first pictured road? The signature arrow, albeit only made of unpainted wood and not mounted on a tree or post, is there. The arrow and a rock with a dot of green paint are carefully placed clues for the watchful eye.
