A Very, Very..... Long Walk!

Dear Diary,                                                                                                April 3rd 2015,

Today I walked to the pretty little town of Monbarcaro.


It was a VERY long walk!


7km up hill, and 7km back! My feet hurt so bad! It was definitely not the kind of walk you want to do in moccasins, because they don't have shock absorbers. I went kind of crazy and started dancing down the street to get the pain out of my head!(luckily no one was around!) By the time I got back to the house I felt very tired, but very strong!


The town was worth a visit though! It was definitely the stereotypical Italian village. It had narrow cobblestone streets, small gardens, abandoned houses, and ancient churches. The family's little boy and I discovered this huge graveyard! It took almost half an hour to get through! On the walls of the graveyard you could see photos of the deceased. It was sad, especially the ones that were children, but it was also pretty cool!

On our way back the little boy and I stopped at a church. I ended up telling the boy about the meaning of Easter, since he didn't know. It is really cool to see the look of wonder on a child's face when they try to comprehend it.

All in all, it was an increadable day, and I'm super excited for tomorrow!


(We might go to the ocean!!!)

Ever upward!
