Italy is Still in mind!
At the moment, the Spring equinox of 2020, Italy is in lockdown amidst the throes of the world Coronavirus pandemic. We are saddened that the virus is hitting Italy so hard, while we ourselves are trying (likely not very successfully) to mitigate as best we can the same situation here in the US.
This site recounts some of our experiences in Italy, starting in 2007. More recently, in 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 we enjoyed walking long-distance pilgrimage routes: The Via Francigena from Switzerland, ending at Rome, and also two routes traversed by St. Francis, parts of the Via di Francesco. Stories and photos from those excursions are coming soon. kc

Dear Mr. Chambers –
Thank you for posting about Italy again. I’ve enjoyed the blog, but after nine years of waiting for you to blog again I’d almost given up. Luckily my bunker food supply has proved sufficient, and now that we have responsible leadership in Washington I can soon come out into the daylight.
Dear Joseph Duck. We thank you, no, commend you, for your patience. Our hope was to have further Italian adventures this past spring — alas, not to be. But stay tuned, hope does spring almost eternal, and more episodes in this bit of the blog-o-sphere are sure to materialize. Yours, Anekiti
