..and off to Italy!

We got the Brownings out the door for their European adventure the day before we left for ours. We headed to Verona first, spent the night, and then went on to Venice. Unfortunately the Venice pictures are still on my other laptop so they'll be posted later. For the time being, here are pictures from Lucca, Tuscany, and the surrounding area...

Here's the view out our apartment living room window



and the view from the highest tower in town...out over town with Ren and his Sox hat (Ode to Dr. Steve....)




One of the major churches in the center of Lucca



Our favorite Focaccia baker...and they had a rockin' chocolate brioche/cake called a Pinolatino...WOW!
