Day 14: Sessa Aurunca to Teano

Another terrific walking day - the sun was shinning and the sky a beautiful blue. The Way (17.02 km) was mostly on dirt roads and, when sealed, on minor back roads or the rocks of an ancient Roman roadway. There was some mud, but nothing impassable and I walked through a lot of woodland - something that always makes me feel good. The path approaching Teano had a Grande Panchina (Big Bench #350 - I also saw one outside of Albano Laziale after I'd left Castel Gandolfo; I didn't know they were a thing then). At the big bench, there was a book to sign for the VFS and I saw that so far in April, what's when the book started, there has been about one pilgrim a day. And, few kilometers out of Teano a group of three, one of whom was a priest, stopped their car and asked me if he could take a video of me walking on the sacred trail (on the Roman stones). Of course I agreed and imagine that I will appear in his next presentation! Tonight I have a wonderful room and my host has taken my walking uniform home to wash it all for me - what a wonderful gift.Read more
