Walking Across Italy

Today was a very long day. We hiked 18.2 miles in 7.5 hours. My apple watch says that I took 37,600 steps and climbed 33 flights of stairs. The sun was out for most of the day adding to the fatigue. But, in true form, we powered through the heat and exhaustion and found our way to or lodgings for the evening. Luckily, it is a nice hotel with clean rooms, hot showers, a semi-hard bed, and a friendly desk clerk.

My daughter, Libby, would be disappointed in this hotel because there are no slippers, no bathrobes, and no high quality shampoo and soap amenities. In fact the toiletries consist a 1 small tube of shampoo/body wash. But on this trip, that is high livin’!

Given the distance and length of time we spent hiking today, I am exhausted. So I’m going to just share a few pictures and call it a night. Sorry. We have another 17 mile day tomorrow.

Bonne nuit.
