Word of the Day
comunita: 1: community 2: What the World is becoming more of for JenFu as he explores different places and meets wonderful people.
It’s strange to be here for only a week and being sad because friends will be left behind. We bumped into John on 2 more occasions today and shared some more grappa.
We also had a nice conversation with Drew who is traveling the World with the Australian military. Traveling does take him away from family and the surf (Drew is an avid surfer) but it opens the World to him.
It was fantastic meeting John because he is so local to this area. The same can be said for Drew, who is the absolute opposite, being a visitor as well. I feel that there is such value in both…to have roots but also to be a member of the World community.
As for climbing, Corinne and I managed a fantastic route today. It was glorious in its beauty and scale but also in its challenge. I thought I was going to die on more than 2 occasions! The route was called Spigolo Sud on the Col dei Bos. 10 pitches were climbed, some beautifully, some with much groveling. Chimneys with packs on are rather scary. All in all, though, I think that Corinne and I both stepped up and we have fond memories to show for it.
Tomorrow, we head to Arco…new adventures, perhaps.
