Due giorni fa a Castellare.
Col cielo che prometteva pioggia.
Per poi aprirsi sopra di noi.
Lasciandoci a bocca aperta.
//
Two days ago, here at Castellare.
With the sky promising rain.
But then, it opened up above us.
Leaving us open mouth.

One takes a walk outdoors for fresh air, exercise and, clearing the mind. Our walk presented us with more than just that. It gave us a game to play. It's been a while since we participated in Geocaching. "Geocaching is a real-world, outdoor treasure hunting game using GPS-enabled devices. Participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the geocache (container) hidden at that location." Yesterday, while walking on a nearby trail, my husband happened to mention that maybe there would be some hidden caches along the path. Sure enough, he was right. We found one of many hidden; it will be more of an adventure when we take our next walk.
