Lucca, Italy

well i am still in Lucca and am supposed to leave tomorrow to go to Roma but the trains are all on strick from 9 oclock tonight till 9 oclock tomorrow, odd eh? so we booked another night here and cancelled our first night in Roma.

well we are loving Lucca! its a smaller town and its very midevil! it has a old stone wall that goes the hole way round which i read its only 2 and a half miles long to walk the whole thing! its very pretty and there are many paths on the top of the wall, its very wide!

we enjoyed florence after leaving the evil hostel! and on our last day did all the sites we wanted to see, we saw the Real David statue in the ....i dont want to spell it wrong so i wont try! but it was neat to see the real thing instead of the pictures you always see in school. in the gallery there is also a music room which a hole bunch of pianos are located, and most of them have a plastic covering over the keys but one didnt so i played 3 keys of it to see what it sounded like, bad idea! this man came running over yelling dont touch dont touch! it did sound pretty though! it was harp like! lol! we spent most of the afternoon sitting in the shade in the piazza signora and shopping around! and of course eating gelato! in the evening we hiked a bit up this hill to the piazza de michalango (cant spell) where you get a birds eye view of all of florence! it was beautiful! we watched the sunset and the light of the city appear! gorgeous! my camera doesnt do it justice!

yesterday we went to pisa with a girl from london who was staying in our room! the tower itself was a lot smaller than i imagined! we had a grand day of shopping and sitting in the shade, it is so hot! we then went out in the evening after dark and walked around Lucca, the town is so lively at night, plus theres this summertime festival going on so all these famous people are coming to perform, elton john, norah jones, joss stone and ricky martin (lol) are just a few of them! joss stone was last night and we could hear her from streets!

today was spent lounging around i napped and tamara read her harry potter book which she bought at midnight yesterday!

tommorrow were just gonna chill out again and then monday were off to rome!
chow!
