      J.Patrick reacted to andycohn's post in the thread Magna Via Francigena - April 2024 with Like Like.
      Continuing from above: For the rest of this section, Nick's suggestions are spot on, and his descriptions can't be matched. Specifically: 1. His means of avoiding the long detour when you first encounter the SS38 is perfect. Saved us, two...

      Andy & Kate's Day 2: To Corleone: What a difference 3 days make! When Nick came through, (see post #9), the sun was beating down relentlessly, and there was no mention of difficult trail. But for us, rain and temps in the single digits turned...

      I’m recovering from a hernia surgery (all well, if a bit painful), and your accounts are a balm for my pilgrim heart. Thank you, thank you!

      Day 4: Prizzi to Castronovo di Sicilia — 24km An early morning exit from Prizzi gives a perspective unseen during yesterday’s entrance from the other direction: a town clinging to the hillside, half in shadow, waiting for the sun to rise over...

      Day 3: Corleone to Prizzi — 20km There’s no easing into the camino this morning; it’s uphill from the very first step through the alleyways of Corleone all the way up to the Saracen Tower that surveys the town from a rocky outcrop. The tower is...

      Day 2: Santa Cristina Gela to Corleone — 24km Santa Cristina Gela is sleepy when I leave this morning, and it should be, because it’s 7am on a Sunday. But though the village hasn’t woken up yet, the spirit of the camino still manifests itself in...

      Alone on Camino, Peter, but I hope not lonely. You have thousands of walking companions…there just walking somewhere else at the moment. I celebrate your coming upon this Camino place of blessing. ¡Ultreïa!

      J.Patrick replied to the thread The Idea of Camino.
