#3 – Favorite Photo Countdown 2018

Posted on December 15, 2018 by carryoncouple.com
A mystical, magical scene greeted us as we approached Monteluco.  Perched high above the Italian city of Spoleto, the climb was just the beginning of our longest and most challenging day of walking The Way of St. Francis.

Runner-up

Our morning continued through the misty Sacred Woods of Monteluco, eventually climbing up and out of the cloud cover…only to face 2,200 feet of treacherous descent.

This scene, from Italy’s The Way of St. Francis, depicts an irresistible example of the simplicity and beauty we find when distance hiking.

This scene from Bandon, Oregon was a close second because…who doesn’t love a stroll on the beach under a clear blue sky?

Long distance trekking has taught us to appreciate simplicity and to enjoy the journey.  We have also learned that the path is not always clear.

Runner-up

And when he path is cluttered with distractions, it’s OK to seek help…in this case, GPS kept us on track.

#8 – Favorite Photo Countdown 2018

Posted on December 9, 2018 by carryoncouple.com
This is not, by any stretch of the imagination, the best technical photo from our 2018 album.  However, the discovery of the Selfie Corner in our Gubbio, Italy hotel presented a photo opportunity too silly to pass up.

Runner-up

The Pinky Bar wins the runner-up spot for no other reason than the irresistible nature of it’s name.  It was here that we celebrated Reg’s birthday on a quiet Sunday afternoon in Valfabbrica, Italy.

Carryoncouple thanks you for helping our blog travel to new territory in 2018. Our site has recorded nearly 5,300 views this year, surpassing our record from 2013, when we walked the Camino de Santiago. Your interest in our Way of St. Francis trek this spring exceeded all our other trips, including 181 in one day.

Since our kickoff in 2012, carryoncouple.com has recorded more than 25,000 views in 119 countries, led by the USA, the UK, Canada, Australia and Italy. We await someone in Antarctica to extend our reach to every continent.

What is our most popular post? It comes from our 2012 visit to Verona, Italy. Pictured above, our post about the Basilica di San Zeno still attracts views and has been seen nearly 700 times.

Here’s to Word Press, to nearly 400 followers, and to many more adventures!
