Florence and the Via Francigena

How different it is to return to this place after being in a normal society!
This time last year it was totally different.... all was new and exciting.....
Blah!
I have become very aware of the huge difference in my world and this one...,
The huge thing is the sick inequities of power between male and female.....

But there you go.....
My countdown has begun!
Shopping this morning for a few necessities!
What does one need as they walk down from the alps?
My summer is going to be amazing as I transport myself across Italy on my feet.
I will be a blistered mess in no time I am sure.... figuring out my first aid!
The aim is to walk from the alps to Rome..... about 1000 km!
The challenge of my lifetime.....
The backpack is packed and will be unpacked and repacked many times I am sure......
The Camino is the Via Francigena..... and I wonder where my appalling sense of direction will lead me. I say this cos I got lost in the Opera House bathrooms last night.....
I have my directions... I cannot read a compass but I will get there....
Ready for a new beginning in Kuwait for my final year here.
I am pretty excited about this.... it will be my resources......they’re a bit sparse at the moment. So am hoping the walking brings them to where they need t o be.
This , my friends, is where I am at
Another adventure for Florence.
