Walking Across Italy

I started the day with my favorite weekly activity…bringing doughnuts to my 3-year old grandson Benny. (This is a tradition started by my late father-in-law, Jim Finke.) Benny get’s so excited when he sees the doughnut box. He jumps up and down and starts screaming “Nonno has do-dos”! His favorite “do-do” is chocolate with sprinkles. Leaving chocolate all over his hands and face.

After he was sufficiently jazzed-up on sugar, I made my exit like any smart grandparent.

Later today, I tried fitting all of my equipment into my backpack. It was not an easy fit, but after 3 attempts, (and a few more eliminations), I got it all into one small bag.

Let’s see if all this preparation works.
