In the morning, a local guide took us for a walk through the city, pointing out places of interest. We saw churches, plazas, fritas stands (a lemony Italian doughnut), flower vendors, and lots of bicycles.
After the tour most of us bicycled the tree-lined walls of the city.
After pizza for lunch, Harry and I walked around the city some more. We discovered the caffe where Puccini, who is a native of Lucca, spent a good deal of time. We also spot some friends in the laundromat. (Since the tour began, this was the first opportunity we had to do laundry.)
In the evening we go to an opera performance at the San Giovanni Church. This was such a special treat for Harry and me. We are still singing "O mio babbino caro" as we remember that special evening.
