[QUOTE="J.Patrick, post: 1193794, member: 61382"] [SIZE=7][B]La Storta — Oct 26[/B][/SIZE] It rained all last night, and everything was fresh and bright this morning, as the sun is out for the first time in a few days. The way out of Campagnano goes straight up and straight down a bracing walk each way. Even though the guide book informed us we were walking into the outskirts of the suburbs of Rome, there was still mostly green and open fields and mountains. We journey for three hours through a nature preserve that was all forest. It was a perfectly lovely morning. I noticed that wild boar shows up on many, many menus. I wondered if there could possibly be as many wildboar, as there is food served. This morning I saw my first wild boar with little piglets. They were hiding in the bushes and scampered off when I noticed them. Less than a minute later, I heard gunshots way off in the distance. Apparently the hunt continues. The first church of the day was the Santuario de la Madonna del Sorbo. A beautiful, little Carmelite church. It was a happy place. We passed through the very lovely and apparently prosperous little town of Formello, and came to what appeared to be a Jesuit church. The afternoon carried us through harvested farmland, more deep woods, and past some sites where ancient, as in 3,000 year old Etruscan burials were carried out. Apparently the excavations are done, and the land has returned to farming. The storm of two days ago knocked down some trees right across the Francigena. We had to boonie-stomp through an extended patch of wildness to find our way through. We both judged it a thoroughly satisfying day, with lots of asphalt in the morning, but paths in the afternoon, and lots of forest and open farmland, this close to the city. Tomorrow, on to Rome!
