Ciao da Lucca



We forgot to leave our key at Il Borgo so we arranged a meeting as a driver from there who was bringing guests for a tour of Lucca - ten people from Washington State - they are enjoying their visit to Italy. Met the guide that was conducting the tour. She gave us more information about the area.


Abbiamo camminato solo una parte delle mura. (only walked part of the wall).  Abbiamo fatto una prenotazione alla Osteria Cantine Bernardini per il pranzo. (We made reservations at the Cantina Bernadini for lunch.) Un altro buonissimo pranzo (Another very good one).


Did some shopping and came across a celebration reenacting a medieval archery competition. They were shooting from over 50 yards and most hit the bull's-eye! Fun to watch.


Had a quick drink at Ellen & Charlie's apartment in the evening.


Bought a lemon cake this am
The keys we left -pretty big key holder!!!!
Wow - hurry up and put this in a museum.
