Mortara to Garlasco

[Bob from L.A. !]

Left this morning early to beat the heat, got a cup of coffee ️ and was nursing six mosquito bites.
The initial path out of town lead me down a beautiful tree-lined path, which provided ample shade from the rising sun. (See photo).
Throughout my days walk I went through several small towns which had beautiful artworks hanging in their churches ️.
By noon I reached Garlasco, showered and had a high calorie lunch and an ice cold .
Tomorrow I will walk to Pavia and meet with friends for dinner, who live in Milan that I met while walking The Camino Norte in 2018.

Hope you don't add to your collection of bites Bob!
I'm amazed at the difference between your walking 'conditions' & those I experienced being on the trail just a month earlier. I didn't get a single mozzie bite throughout. I guess less than predictable annual weather patterns a contributing factor (ie rainfall, unseasonal temps, etc).
However I saw a heap of snakes (mostly undead )...but then again, you still have Tuscany ahead...brace thyself!
Happy trails
