Rainy day Sutri

My cohorts in cultural chaos, dancer and giovanni, think i stroll from one bowl of pasta to the next .  well that is not correct and my 7 hour slog through the rain from vetralla to sutri is part and parcel of the pilgrim life on la via francigena.

Mostly there has been fine and holy welcomes at the ospitalita but not at santa rosa in Viterbo.  avoid it. 

The vf through lazio is mainly farming country with rolling hills.   and dogs.  I surely needed the bastoni which i cut from the woods in northern tuscany.    I shall leave the bastoni in la storta.

this is a great moment when you see, however distant, the goal of your wandering.  the thing which has been living in your imagination suddenly becomes part of the tangible world. 

It is overcast in La storta, on the fringe of the eternal city.
