Today was a zigzag…Walk then a boat ride across the Po River (with two fun Italian lady pilgrims). Walk again – then a train ride to Fiorenzuola. One final walk right to the Hotel Concordia.Right after taking the picture below I slid a couple of feet down the boat ramp and my phone went flying in the air towards the river – miraculously it landed on a small patch of reed grass and didn’t get wet.The boat captain took us to his house to sign his guest book and to get stamps in our pilgrim passports.10 miles by foot.

Our guide books said the walk from Piacenza to here is dangerous – lots of highway situations. We walked for miles along the highway on the Camino de Santiago Portugues because of flooding and agreed that this time we would avoid it.

The scenery is slowing changing.

We saw alfalfa fields today and also confirmed with a farmer that the beans are indeed soy (good call Cathy).
