Ciao da Lucca


Abbiamo caldo in Lucca. (We are hot in Lucca.) We never ran our air in Lucca for the past eight years and this year it's running whenever we're in the apartment. In August, they say that one day it was 45C or 113 F. Alarming!


Abbiamo camminato le mura. (We walked the wall.) I took some pictures of the way cars can enter Lucca. Most of the entrances are one way. Mainly the locals can enter. Some visitors may, but they must park as soon as they enter or a big fine. Most visitors park outside the walls


Met Shep and Sally for a long lunch. They are from Australia and have skied with our friends, Brian and Rae in Canada.


Di notte siamo andati al concerto con Ellen & Charlie. (At night we went to the concert with Ellen & Charlie.) The theme was Italian Opera Evening. Then back to our apartment for some wine and snacks.
