One of five Brazlian pilagrinos walking with me whose smile is undeniably perfection.
A beauty. A former Camino Albergu hostess.
Preparing a future tour, two Italian guides make time for “Selfies.” Adorable.
Within the “Sacred Forest” is the Santuario Della Verna Monastary built at the top of a huge rock face.
Continuing in the “Sacred Forest,” one of the most beautiful forest I’ve walked.
The tune “What Goes Up, Must Come Down” plays over and over in my head for that is how the way is walked.
Truly a Starkbuck’s moment.
Blooms…
From the Refugio’s ledger, it appears 2015 has had 600 pilagrinos…I’m the third American. This number may be a bit deflated as many pilagrinos begin closer to Assisi.
Always a struggle between light and dark in the “Sacred Forests.”
