Under a perfect Tuscan Sun

Our first few days in Italy were exhausting, and honestly I think we were starting to get weary from traveling, so we thought we should head to the countryside and throw our itinerary out the window. And we are so glad we did. We are now in the small Tuscan hill town of Lucca, which we like best of all. It's much more our speed, less expensive, and friendly. It's a completely walled city, and the old wall has been converted to a treelined, paved biking path! Love at first sight! Jon planned a fabulous day for us today: we rented bikes and biked through some little towns to a vineyard for a wine tasting, picnic in the park, and some afternoon gelato. The perfect Tuscan day! Ciao for now!

Photos: I finally figured out how to shrink the photo size so I can add more to each post! Sorry it took so long!! :)
I. Italians make perfect cappuccinos, and often for only 1 euro.
