Venti settembre domenica ( September 20 Sunday)

This is our last full day in Lucca and we are sad but, have to move on. We have animals waiting to see us and we would like to think they miss us. But they have been well taken care of! Tomorrow we take the bus to the Florence Airport and then a short walk to our "one night" hotel. Tuesday our flight leaves for Paris at 7:00 am so we have to be at the airport really early. I am not sure I will be able to write tomorrow.

Questa mattina abbiamo fatto una passeggiata sulle mura (This morning we went for a walk on the wall.)  Il sole splende. (The sun is shining.)  Ci piace il sole. (We like the sun.) Prima le mura siamo fermati a comprare un taglio di pizza. (Before the wall we stopped to buy a piece of pizza).

I decided to show you how we get on the wall. There are different types of ways. There are  road-like paths, narrow paths, gradual paths, steep paths and windy paths. Pictures below show the different ways.

Went back to the buy some more bread to support Comboni Missionaries in Brazil.  Then stopped to have a pizza at Felice. It was really good. This is a bread and pizza day so far.

Per la cena siamo andati a Port Ellen Clan (For dinner we went to Port Ellen Clan).  It will be our first time there; we saw it on the Cooking Channel.  Guy Fieri visited there in his red corvette.  He must be special to get to drive inside the wall!  Mostly it's limited to some residents, and public vehicles.
