Trail Markers

In Tuscany we are seeing Via Francigena trail markers like this one, little white tombstones. The Camino has similar markers although they are bigger and more post-like. Anyway, on the Camino pilgrims carry stones for people in their thoughts and place them on the markers. This was the first time we have seen this on the VF. The rounded tops don’t allow for many stones. This one had a cross beside it, the first time we have seen that. I’m not sure what it is meant to signify but it is clearly a handy place for stones.
