In the Summer of 2019, my lovely wife Mary and I hiked the Italian portion of the Via Romea Germanica, an ancient pilgrimage route that once brought pilgrims to Rome. This page contains the sixty-two installments of our journey. Written in the evenings, after the stress of a long day's walk, the original blog had a rough, unfinished quality. I am now revising those pages to offer a more polished account of our trip, which can be accessed through the links that follow.
