Lucca, the Italian Sayville

After Pisa, we boarded the bus again and went to Lucca.  The city still lies within the ancient medieval walls and is actually rather small.  Once we were inside, it was very reminiscent of home - Spring had finally come, people were outside walking dogs (or kids, as the case may be), and it was ultimately a very lively city.  Plus, whereas Sayville is in a metaphorical bubble, Lucca actually has walls to back up the concept.  Much of my time there was spent just walking around and enjoying the atmosphere.


















Oh, and the bus had all of it's gas siphoned out, so while waiting we all went on a carousel in the main city square.  There was an ostrich.
