Lucca

On Monday, myself, Alessandra, my Mom and Kjerstin went to Lucca. Lucca is a medieval city about 30 minutes from where we live . The entire city is surrounded by a big wall from medieval times. A random fact from Lucca is that there are 99 Churches there.

This is the famous ancient Roman Amphitheater in Lucca. All the houses from a circle so that they could all watch the shows or plays in the middle.

This is what the city looks like from the outside-


If you look close at the picture below you can see Alessandra, Kjerstin and my Mom on top of the wall. This kind of gives you a better idea of how tall the wall is-

Here i a few shots from the churches there-

While we were there we climbed to the top of a XIII Century tower and got a view of the whole city from there at the top of the tower. Where you see the row of trees is where the wall is surrounding the city-

Here is my Mom, Alessandra and Kjerstin taken from on top of the tower-

And again from on top of the wall of the city-

After we got done in Lucca we drove back to near where we live and went up to my Boss's house for a quick snakc and to introduce my Mom and Kjerstin to my Boss, Matteo and his wife, Barbara.
As you can see he has a beautiful view from his house of our Valley so we sat and ate some snacks with him and his wife on their porch and then watched the sunset before heading home-
