Sette settembre martedì ( September 8 Tuesday)

Bel tempo a Lucca (Beautiful weather in Lucca). We are sleeping so well and now are rested for another day. Ho scritto nel blog; anche ho aggiunto le foto (I wrote in the blog; also added photos). Abbiamo camminato le mura ma non abbiamo visto persone. Perchè? (We walked the wall but, not too many people there. Why?) Halfway around the wall we found out - they were paving part of the wall. They should be done by the weekend. Our walk was about an hour and covered 3 miles - some detours.

Stopped to have lunch at Vecchia Trattoria Buralli. This a local trattoria that is real hard to find. We have been eating here for 6 years - great food and it did not disappoint. Primo Dow prende crostini con fegatini (Toasted bread with tuscan chicken patè). Roberto prende trotelli al sugo di carne (Lucchesian tortelli with meat sauce). Secondo Dow prende ravioli fatti in casa con crema porcini. Tutta la pasta è fatta in casa (ravioli with mushroom cream sauce.  All pasta is made in house or homemade). Roberto prende pappardelle al cinghiale (pappardelle with wild boar sauce).

Later a walk for a gelato, then a drink on the patio and bedtime.
