In spite of the short distance I covered today, it was long and hot and tiring and somewhat frustrating due to all the missed turns and backtracking. The best part of the day was, after running into a road closure, I decided to unfurl my ground sheet, unfold my foam sleeping pad, and have a noon hour siesta in the warm sun on a mountain side in Italy. I woke up in much better spirits!

I’m aiming to get an early night tonight, so I’ll leave it at that.
