Days 11 and 12: Pisa, Florence and Rome
... of left field,"We havent seen any change on the ground yet." I'm sure you're like, what the hell are you talking about? Well, my mom's dad passed away in 2007. Mom and her family has always felt that he leaves dimes to tell them he's okay, and to sometimes to say hi. So we knew what she meant. We all kind of laughed and said that they'd actually be 10-cent Euro coins, and the gypsies and beggars would take them faster than you notice you drop ...

We left our hotel in Lucca in the sun! We drove about 1 1/4 hours through several tunnels through the mountains, exited the highway, had several miles of "St John sytle" mountain hairpin turns, to see the sea and the coast in front of us. We were staying the seaside resort of Levanto, which is a quick train ride to the Cinque Terre area. We hopped the train and arrived in Manarola, the 4th village from Levanto. A picutre perfect ...
