After our cheesy Piza photos we day tripped to Lucca

I am sorry that I broke the rules and posted some really cheesy Pisa Pictures, but it was hard not too because they were so much fun taking them.  I have one last one because you will not have seen this type of tower picture. During the festa d'La Luminara for the First time Ever, the Leaning Bell Tower of Pisa was also illuminated during the festival.  We fought our way through the crowds to the tower to take this picture.

 

Lucca

Graziella really had her heart set on going to Lucca.  She had done a lot of reading about it and it's history, so we made a day trip to this small walled village.

This does not count as a cheesy Pisa Picture.

Sometimes I feel like I am living with the Flash!

Here we are going up another bell tower.

This guy needed a few gold chains around his neck to be really Italian!

We rented bikes and rode around the town wall three times. 

(We only had the bikes rented for an hour)

Here is Graziella sitting at the best spot in Lucca. 

St. Michele Square! It is the center of life in Lucca.

Just another Brick in the Wall.
