So, without further ado...
For our summer house rental this year, way back in August, we chose to pop over to our neighbor, Italy. We rented a house in the hills with the requisite pool and took the chance to visit a few of the Tuscany region's towns. I've begun a mini love affair with Italy and I've only seen a tiny part of it. But, the FOOD!! the WINE!!! the lovely PEOPLE!! the amazing CITIES!!! You could spend your whole life in Italy and never get tired of all the places to see, and the food to eat, and the wine to drink. I just think it's a thumbs up all around.
We started our adventure with an overnight in the walled town of Lucca...
Before we headed out of town the next day, E and I took a bike ride along the wall that surrounds the old town...
Then we headed to our house...
We had some pizza in Pisa...
Had dinner in a cool little artsy village...Pietrasanta...
Popped over to the seaside for a meal in Viareggio....
And another seaside village for a stroll and lunch, Lido di Camiore...
Sighhhhhhh. And then it was time to head home. I love Monaco and there are awesome spots in France, but I must say, my love affair has begun and I plan on seeing A LOT more of our neighbor. :)
