After a while I begin chatting with our foreign footwear companions who tell me about the challenges they face in and around the Seattle area. Probably too much asphalt for the liking of a country boot like me, but the mountain hiking and kayaking sound pretty cool!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Raggiungiamo il piccolo borgo di Montemarcello, l&#8217;onnipresente bar \u00e8 individuato, caff\u00e8, focaccia e altre bont\u00e0 vengono ordinate, e io mi concedo un meritato riposo con mio fratello Mancino, sotto al tavolino fuori in piazza. Dopo un po&#8217; comincio a chiacchierare con le calzature straniere nostre compagne, che mi raccontano delle sfide che devono affrontare in Seattle e dintorni. Probabilmente troppo asfalto per i gusti di uno scarpone campagnolo come me, ma le camminate in montagna e il kayaking sembrano ganzi!<\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_16057\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter post-item__attachment\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/italian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/04\/100_7990.jpg\" aria-label=\"100 7990\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16057\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16057\"  alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/ src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/italian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/04\/100_7990.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/italian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/04\/100_7990.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/italian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/04\/100_7990-263x350.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-16057\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #808080\"><em>The colours of Montemarcello.

But wait &#8230; first the humans want to take a detour to an old fort atop the cliffs. Unfortunately for me, this involves a couple of kilometres of that nasty asphalt. But I guess it&#8217;s a good way to limber up after my lunch break, and it&#8217;ll probably help Geoff to wake up a bit as I can tell from his pace that he&#8217;s missing his customary postprandial nap.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Ed ecco la parte migliore: il sentiero roccioso per tornare a Zanego &#8230; questo metter\u00e0 a dura prova la mia suola! Ma aspettate &#8230; prima gli umani vogliono fare una deviazione verso un vecchio fortino in cima alla scogliera. Purtroppo per me, questo comporta un paio di chilometri di quel brutto asfalto. Ma immagino che sia un buon modo per sgranchirmi dopo la pausa pranzo, e probabilmente aiuter\u00e0 Geoff a svegliarsi un po&#8217;, dato che dal suo passo indovino che gli manca la sua solita pennichella.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Back from the fort and the trail takes a steep dive down from Montemarcello, through abandoned olive groves, and towards the verdigris sea below. The ground is littered with small pebbles, really no big deal for an able boot such as myself. But then we make a 90 degree turn to the north-west &#8230; and the fun begins! We follow the contours of a rocky coastline roughly 200 metres above sea level.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Ritorniamo dal fortino e la pista fa una ripida picchiata gi\u00f9 da Montemarcello, attraverso uliveti abbandonati, e verso il sottostante mare color verderame. Il terreno \u00e8 disseminato di piccoli ciottoli, nessun grosso problema per un capace scarpone come me. Ma poi facciamo una svolta di 90 gradi verso nord-ovest &#8230; e comincia il bello! Seguiamo i contorni di una costa rocciosa circa 200 metri sul livello del mare.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Disaster almost strikes when I&#8217;m put down on a cunning loose rock which slides away beneath me. Geoff is chatting again of course. Humans, huh! Lefty wakes up just in time to help me out, and together we manage to break Geoff&#8217;s fall. No lasting damage done, but I realise that from now on it&#8217;s up to me to check out every stone and pebble as I can tell that they&#8217;re in a playful mood today, and hoping to play a few sneaky tricks on our people. Perhaps this is where Andrea&#8217;s American sneakers come in useful?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Il disastro colpisce quasi allorch\u00e9 vengo appoggiato su un furbo sasso sconnesso che sdrucciola via sotto di me. Geoff naturalmente sta di nuovo chiacchierando. &#8216;Sti umani! Mancino si sveglia giusto in tempo per aiutarmi, e insieme riusciamo a frenare la caduta di Geoff. Nessun danno a lungo termine, ma mi rendo conto che d&#8217;ora in poi spetta a me controllare ogni pietra e ciottolo, dato che \u00e8 chiaro che oggi essi sono di umore scherzoso, e sperano di far fare della ginnastica ai nostri. E&#8217; forse qui che le scarpe da ginnastica americane di Andrea tornano utili?<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The landscape begins to resemble an oversized Japanese ornamental garden. Below, a jutting rock is crowned by a tenacious pine. I know all of this because I hear the humans discussing it. As you can imagine, my view of the world is mostly quite limited, although I do get a glimpse or two when Geoff rests me upon a boulder so that Serena can take a photo.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Il paesaggio inizia a somigliare ad un enorme giardino ornamentale giapponese. Gi\u00f9 sotto, uno spuntone di roccia \u00e8 coronato da un pino tenace. Tutto questo lo so perch\u00e9 sento gli umani discuterne. Come potete immaginare, la mia veduta del mondo \u00e8 generalmente alquanto limitata, sebbene io riesca a catturare uno scorcio o due quando Geoff mi appoggia su un masso in modo che Serena possa fare una foto.<\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_16056\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone post-item__attachment\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/italian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/04\/100_8009.jpg\" aria-label=\"100 8009\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16056\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16056\"  alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/ src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/italian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/04\/100_8009.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/italian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/04\/100_8009.jpg 800w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/italian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/04\/100_8009-350x263.jpg 350w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/italian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/04\/100_8009-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-16056\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #808080\"><em>Me looking out to sea with Il Golfo di La Spezia in the background.

We&#8217;re back where we left the car in Zanego, now for the boring process of sitting around down in the dingy footwell, resting on the accelerator pedal, and occasionally, just for a change, hopping over to the brake pedal &#8230; yawn. But I really don&#8217;t mind as I&#8217;m already thinking about getting back to my cosy shelf just below that adorable little blue shoe, and recounting my heroic trek along the treacherous cliffs &#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>La passeggiata continua senza incidenti, ed io ottengo grandi soddisfazioni da un lavoro ben fatto.
