Friday, October 3 Day 2 Walk 20 kms

Today we walked from Colle di Val D’Elsa to Monterigioni. Just a little over 20 kms. It was a beautiful day and for the most part we walked along a river. Again lots of ups and downs. A number of times we had to cross the river holding on to ropes as we walked across on large stones. As we neared the 17 km mark we could see a town far away and high on a mountain top. We thought surely that was not where we were headed but it was. After 17 kms our backpacks were getting a bit heavy as we headed straight up to our final destination for the day. We had an earlier dinner and are now in our beds for the night. There is no heat in the room and it is a bit chilly but there are tons of blankets in
