Florence to Lucca
... same time. She's a better driver than navigator :-D.
Only hiccup so far was hot Sergio refusing to start when we stopped in Lucca to find the hotel. 10 minutes cooling whilst we grabbed a coke and off he went delivering us safely to our first destination and a well earned beer.
ps: got a few more pics to upload but Italian internet somewhat lacking...

Day 4 - Rome - Pisa - Montecatini
... boys were welcomed over the public address and had a parade with other youth teams on the field at half time.
After the match the boys played some touch on the field. We then headed off to our hotel in Montecini. A very nice town with narrow streets and typical Tuscan architecture.
The boys had some free time after supper to walk around the town and explore.
Tomorrow we are off to ...
Well that's smaller than I thought it would be...
... a week where all the marble was stolen and reused in other sites. Beautiful marble work!! Almost blinding for pictures.
Had a lovely lunch on a side street from the Field of Miracles.
Kids got to "shop" a bit at the market.
On the way back to the Villa we stopped in Empoli at the "Super Coop", a very big grocery store, to pick up a few things. I found "Made in Manitoba bread flour" and "Canadian Maple Syrup".

School Day: Time for some homework
A rest day turned into a catch up day. Kids got to sleep in and relax in the morning and then catch up on some journaling. Rome was crazy busy and they needed time to take in what they had learned in Rome before we start the next leg of our journey in Tuscany.
Lots of naps today for David and I.
David took the kids out for a short drive around the countryside. They found a castle. They ended up in Empoli, the bigger centre in our area.

Soaking it all in!!!
01/02/12 Wednesday – 05/02/12 Sunday
Well, it's the day after the first snow and, even though the snow stopped falling sometime
around midnight, it has left a beautiful image for all people in Lucca to wake up to. It is still very cold and by the time we woke up the skies was still very overcast. Mary took some photos of her beloved mountain. Last night we put some photos onto 'Facebook’ to show the first moments of snow.
Anyway, what a great week ...
