We drove to Lucca this morning (about 3 hours) and dropped off the car. The directions were fairly useless, but we found the drop off without any trouble once we stopped to ask. We are staying at Al Tuscany, an inexpensive and charming B&B right in the center of town that I found through Venere. It is very warm here, so after a light lunch of panzanella for me and caprese salad for Steve, we took a little siesta and now we have ventured out to explore Lucca. I think evenings in Lucca are going to be fabulous. Will write more later...
