Alternate Paths

The red path is the older, Lightfoot path. The blue path is the newer, EAVF path. We took the newer path and it was very nice, through forest trails. The old path was all road walking. I assume that the pilgrims in the Middle Ages took the straight path. You aren’t even walking where lots of other modern pilgrims walked since the EAVF just changed the”official” path. Is this important or not? Hard to say. You could say this makes the VF more of a pleasant walk in the Italian countryside than a spiritual re-creation of an ancient pilgrimage. We usually take the EAVF paths even though they are often longer.
