Montefiascone to Viterbo; On the Road Again, the Roman Road

First the details. 11 miles walked, bringing the total to 194 miles.

We enjoyed the last evening of our break at a local restaurant with a killer view!

And killer seafood risotto:

The view and dinner for two only set us back about 38€, or about $42. Not a bad deal!

This morning we were back on the road again. For those keeping score, that’s Willie Nelson, 1998, and proof that we are moving musically through the decades and only have two more before we are back to the future (oops, we slipped back to the 80’s!).

The Roman Road: About a mile of this day’s journey was on a Basoli paved road, a type of paving that the Romans used. In fact, this stretch of road dates back to before Christ. Several Roman emperors traveled on this road. Cool! (Of note: the telephone poles are a recent add and not present when the Ceasars were traveling through … in case you were wondering. )

The rest of the journey was less interesting, but mercifully less hilly.

And in short order, we were marching into Viterbo. Another day’s journey complete.

Enjoy your day’s journey. Ciao and God bless you.
