9/5 - Italian Riviera > Lucca 

Today we left the beautiful Italian Riviera.  We drove to the medieval city of Lucca, encircled by 16th-century Renaissance walls.  Then a choice - to discover Lucca on foot or bicycle?

Later a sampling of seasonal, local delicacies at a specialty food shop followed by our arrival at our historic Tuscan villa for a relaxing 4-night stay.

9/12 - Milan

Meanwhile, our 9/12 departure group arrived in Milan.  All arrived safely and with our luggage - always a good way to start a trip.

Several of us walked around the area to shake the cobwebs out after a long flight.

Every bakery had wonderful treats in the window. We enjoyed a slice of pizza for lunch.

Terri and her best friend from High School enjoyed a cola in the square.
After a nap and a shower we were refreshed.  We gathered for our welcome briefing and our first dinner together.
