Water and dirt make mud. Combine the previous day of rain with river bottom land and the result is huge quantities of mud.
A few hours of walking in the drizzle were exchanged with time spent with an Italian family. Though my room was luxurious, I chose to spend the time with the family in their home relaxing by the fireplace stove. An added bonus was a cooking lesson and the recipe for excellent the tart.

Tomorrow I walk half stage while others walk the full stage. I will be breaking the cycle of these lovely people, a hard task to do. On the Cammino, new friends fill the void. It’s a growing proposition.
Fixed price four course meal 20 euros… $24
Gubbio by night on stroll with special piligrino.
Approaching Gubbio. The Roman Theater brought memories of high school Latin classes.
Like the saying, “All roads lead to Rome.” All paths lead to Assisi; however, there isn’t one version. The Cammino Di Assisi may vary from another route by 200 meters or by miles only to rejoin the others routes at a later point.
The “red and white” blaze indicates any route. The other markings indicate specific routes. For me, I follow the “green arrow” which travels along a “red and white” blaze.
Wouldn’t it be nice if they could all agree on one route, one sign.
Same place. Different sky. As has been typical the days walking, the sky, wind, and temperature are constantly changing.
Lunch for one in surienity and with gourmet pizza.
I heard the horses before I saw them. Suddenly, there were two dozen horses on the dirt road where I stood. To be surrounded by horses was a new experience. As seen in the photographs, they were most friendly.
