Getting Ready

 August 15, 2022

In just a few hours, Enrique and I are flying to Spain to visit his family for two weeks. Our Italian adventure begins after that.

Four years ago, we completed the Camino de Santiago, 500 miles of walking across Spain. We loved the experience, so as soon as we returned, we started looking into other Caminos that we could walk. After much research (there are a lot of caminos), we decided to do The Way of St. Francis. This camino goes from Florence to Rome, Italy. That would take a month of walking, so we pared it down to Florence to Assisi, which should take two weeks. We were prepared to go in the fall of 2020. When Covid hit in March, 2020, I remember saying to Enrique that surely it would be resolved by that summer and we would be fine to go.😂 So naïve. So here we are, two years later ready to finally embark on our adventure.
