day 23 – A Long Walk

July 16, 2015

the heat was still turned up but this time we were prepared.
the way up to Cento Campi followed a stone track that must have taken years to build.
it went through chestnut woods that were cut to build with, things like roofs, fences and gates.
the chestnuts were picked and stored in barns to eat in the winter in soups and to make bread from.
in the village the small houses were all joined together to protect the villagers from the sun and the snow.
now almost everybody goes there to enjoy the view and listen to the birds sing.
