Tuscany

We spent time in Tuscany, especially up in the north and we had a great time in Lucca, a fully walled Tuscan city, home to Puccini, who is having his 150th anniversary this year. Of course, we could not miss a trip to see the leaning tower of Pisa. The Tuscan coast is pretty much like the coast further north; and popular with Italians, but not teeming with overseas tourists. We do plan to travel back up north through Central Tuscany; we haven’t sampled much of the wine yet!
