Last night, after a hot day yesterday, it poured rain for several hours over Viverone.
I was out the door at 6 A.M. and began walking in the humid, sticky weather for my long day to Vercelli.
Leaving so early is a double edged sword; you can beat the heat, but you can't find a cup of coffee.
Today's walk was long, but was predictably uneventful until I reached the lowlands where I encountered flooded rice fields, standing water and yes....Mosquitoes!
As I sit here tapping this out on my cellphone I am periodically scratching three new mosquitoe bites on my calves that were not present yesterday.
