Yesterday was a rest day and we hiked over to the next village- a little over a mile away- and went to Mass (conveniently timed for us).  We arrived a bit hot and sweaty after our hike, but many of the older parishioners were in fleece or even down jackets.  Felt a little incongruous, maybe a little like arriving at the top of Mt Washinton and finding the driving crowd.  The homily seemed good, though as it was in Italian I really understood a few references to "Christi].  So a little time for reflection.

On the way over, we somehow passed thru Disneyland-

We ended up back at our original hotel in La Villa, as we got there early, we had time to explore the fancy pool/sauna/whirlpool/spa stuff on offer at the hotel.  Clay spent a lot of time discovering the various foot and body showers and spray jets that seemed to come from everywhere.  He tried the fragrance rooms, but while smelling good, seemed to make him a little nauseous.  I think we were a little of our of depth in this modern Roman bath.

Today it is cloudy but clearing so we are off to late start to hike this mountain where there is a 1000 ft tunnel built by the Italians during WWI.  You need a headlamp and Clay is in his element.
