La Storta to Rome – Sunday October 14th (Preston’s birthday – love you honey) – 13.3 miles in 7 hours 14 minutes.
The Fab Five made to Rome all in one piece and blister free.
What an experience! We’re so appreciative of our health, the ability to perform such a task and friendship.
Our walk today was…. well… you decide…. (photos are in order).
Obstacles to climb over…
95% was on pavement.
We’re staying at the Vatican Garden Inn. Don’t stay here!

Congratulations to you all. I canât believe you donât have any blisters. Impressive.
Thank you. We are so lucky to not have blisters. It’s all about the shoes.
Congratulations…Your journey was enjoyed by so many. Thanks for the ride!!!
Thanks for following!
Wow, you made it. I knew you would. What a bummer that your last steps were filled with mucho garbago! Send the pictures to their tourism department, haha.
Wasn’t the garbage funny. There was a lot more than I captured. We were wondering if everyone had to use them instead of getting pickup services at their homes.
We have enjoyed every step (garbage not so much). Thank you for the photo journey. It’s been a pleasure and sheer enjoyment.
Garbage was smelly. Thanks for following.
Congratulazioni per un fantastico viaggio!!
Dannati cassonetti!!

LOVE, Love, love!!!
Thank you, ALL!
Yay! Thanks for coming along.
You are all amazing congratulations !!
Thanks Kathy!
Congratulations! It has been so fun to follow your journey. My husband and I, along with a good friend, tackled 5 days of the Via Francigena from San Miniato to Siena and were just a few days behind you. We truly admire your group for going such a long distance. We were wimps compared to you: used bags free every day and stayed in hotels, not hostels. Way to go Fab Five!!!
Thank you. Some of us used bags free the last couple of days. We have met people along the way who started in Canterbury and can not believe how they did that. One man in particular did Canterbury to Rome in 75 days!!!
Paige, kinda sad, I’ll miss you, but I’m sure your really glad, , you guys were made for this,!! Congrats on your picture in the magazine, see you sometime.
Thanks Diana.
