THE COUNTDOWN

Shortly the count-down begins for our departure. But now that the date is approaching, tension increases and work becomes frantic. Now begins the arrival of materials from the sponsors, that will carry us through the desert and the house is becoming a warehouse to store all the goods. Materials for camping, backpacks, apparel: all are accumulating where they can, as I wait to choose how to divide the material and what will serve Fabio and I. I must think about a thousand things, all of which are urgent, and the time for training, now very fatiguing, has become the only moment for relaxation: it’s incredible!!
