It is hard to believe we have been on the path for 8 days now. Once neophytes, we now have a regular rhythm to our day. It usually goes like this:
6:30am: Wake up and get packed. Gus is the master and this takes him about 3 minutes. All others are ready to go in about 15 minutes or so.
7:00am: Hit road for about 2 minutes then abruptly stop at a bar for the morning’s first cappuccino and croissant. If this doesn’t happen right away we become walking zombies and Blaise starts to loose his patience very quickly.
7:20am: Get back on the road and actually make progress.
10:00am: Start looking for another booster shot of cappuccino and snack.
1:00pm: Closing in on destination. If we are close, push through, if not look to caffeine once again.
2pm-3pm: Arrive in town and eat comedia.
2:40-3:40: Go into food coma, but struggle to find place to stay. Sleeping on the street is not ideal.
4pm: Check in to our place to stay and crash hard.
5pm: Wake up surprised how late it is, but go back to resting. Totally worth it. Once up, take shower and wash clothes in sink.
6pm: Find Mass and/or check out village that we are staying.
7pm: Settle in for that evenings activity – Mass/cards/ board game/wine drinking and smoking cigar (Al)
9:45pm: Get back to room
9:47pm: Sleep until morning
