A GOOD WALK WITH SOME SURPRISES
The Way of St. Francis May 2, 2026 Scheggino to Ferentillo Miles walked 6.74 Today was a really pleasant walk. Yesterday I veered off the Camino to walk through a park.

MONTELUCO
The Way of St. Francis April 30, 2026 Spoleto to Monteluco Miles walked 3.01 So you’re probably wondering why my walking miles is so low. Well it’s because I took a taxi. Yesterday’s walk was so challenging and the climb today was very difficult (that’s what the guide said “very difficult”) and in combination withContinue reading “MONTELUCO”
A QUIET DAY ON THE WAY
The Way of St. Francis April 29, 2026 Clitunno to Spoleto Miles walked 12.47 Because the town is so high above the city it is also above the Way of St. Francis path.

LOOK, A PRIEST!
The way of St. Francis Foligno to Trevi April 27, 2026 Miles walked 9.78 miles Today was a long walk out of Foligno along a main street.

STRANGER THINGS
You’re probably wondering why I chose “STRANGER THINGS” as the title of this post. Well I have been waiting so long for the final season of STRANGER THINGS and I’ve been procrastinating so long finishing the blog post from the Camino Portuguese that it seemed kind of appropriate. Although I hardly expect that you allContinue reading “STRANGER THINGS”
