Day 7: Rieti to Boggio Bustone

The good news for me was that the temperature only reached 32° by the time I got to my accommodation. The other really good news about the heat is that my things dry very quickly. I'm sharing a house tonight with Wendy from Holland - of course, she is walking to Rome. Boggio Bustone is perched on a mountain side (825m). If it wasn't for the heat haze, I think I would be able to see Rieti; the valley is spread out below me. The walk today (20.13 km) was incredibly picturesque; I took so many photos. I felt a strong connection with Saint Francis today as I was able to visit and walk through Santuario della Foresta. It was serene and peaceful, and you could really imagine the monks working and praying there in days gone by. Our host is bringing us dinner tonight; I am very grateful as I'd rather stay in the cool house than wander around anywhere.Læs mere
