The trains were back in full service today so off to Lucca we sped this afternoon. The one and a half hour ride was smooth and relaxing. We walked through the famous walls of Lucca passing by the Guinici tower (which some of our folks later climbed to the rooftop garden) on our way to Piazza Anfiteatro. This grand plaza was built around the ancient Roman amphitheater walls during the middle ages. It is a wonderful place for people watching as you will see in the photos. The rain forced us into gelato and coffee shops for more indulgences - ha! But the skies cleared as we headed back to the train station for our trip back home. It was nice to be in lovely Lucca today! More later . . .Ciao!
