October 24.

It was funny to said that we wanted a "family ticket" to do the hike and the woman in the "billeteria"looked very strange at us. And just for a moment, it was about having the kids again- and being young :)

They made our massive hike so much interesting and light!...we laughed and chatted all the way, politics, race, sharing personal stories and the nuisances of our countries; finding commonalities and differences but  really enjoying each others company and the magnificent scenery

I was moved by her joyfulness and strength; looking at all with such innocent eyes. She is going back home (Singapore) to change her "clothes suitcase" and  continue her journey- of growth.

I was impressed by his experiences, tenderness and quick thinking.  He is going back to his home (US) to a new corporate and married life.
They were days filled with nature, steps, and food. The italian way: the menu of the day: pasta, bruschetta, gelato and pizza!.....and in a hurry, a run to the train station - afraid to miss their train....a sincere hug, a quick kiss and a big goodbye!
