Bel tempo a Lucca. (Beautiful weather in Lucca). Abbiamo camminato le mura. (We walked the wall.) What a day and what a walk. Many of the locals walk the wall at some time during the day. Tourists also love the wall as we do. After our walk we had lunch at VispaTeresa. Small local restaurant that most people would walk by and not give a look. Il nostro pranzo è stato perfecto (our lunch was perfect). The pasta, cooked just right and very tasty. Only one plate as we are going out tonight. Abbiamo camminato la città nel pomeriggio (Walked the city in the afternoon). The only time we go to dinner at night is at our favorite - Da Pasquale. Abbiamo preso la nostro foto con lui. (We had our picture with him) on last year's Christmas card. Oh no, you threw it away? That is ok. Dinner was great as usual. Dow had seafood salad and then fish - seabream. I had the chef selection (trio of fish) and rabbit.

Pasquale gave each of us a glass of white wine, then after the meal a1927 sherry. Yes, I said 1927! What a nose and smooth, very smooth. The restaurant was packed and turning people away. The first thing we do after settling in is to go and see Paquale for reservations or we would be turned away. It is the # 1 rated restaurant in Lucca on tripadvisor. It has been open for five years and we have been there for each one.

We are emailing you some information about Lucca from people we rent from.
