The adventure begins in Naples where I am staying with friends Jeff and Joanna. After two days to recupe from the long flight, Joanna and I make the 7 hour drive to Tuscany. First stop - Lucca – a medieval walled city. And we're in luck - today is flea market day where we met an American couple and helped them negotiate their purchase in Italian. Lunch at Gino’s bar was delicioso – ate pasta and had my first Italian latte. Then, on to Barga, a charming medieval hilltown. At the top, the duomo is dedicated to St. Christopher (is he still a saint?) Walked the nearly empty streets (it was Sunday.) Beautiful views of the mountains and valleys!
The flea market in Lucca.
Barga, 22 miles north of Lucca, is more than 1,000 years old.
Stopping to enjoy the wisteria in beautiful Barga.
