Loving Lucca

While travelling I typically check in daily to update the blog, but have been somewhat slack in that area. The past week has officially ranked as one of the best in a long time. We hopped a plane to Pisa and made our way to Lucca, one of my favorite towns in all of Italy. Janet, Deb and I rented bikes and busted out of the city walls in pursuit of wine, pictures and some new stories to add to our many on this trip. About fifteen minutes out of town we popped into a stellar winery owned and operated by Paolo and his family for the past four generations. It began with a tour of the wine cellar followed by a lesson in wine production. The three of us perused the vineyard, sunflower fields and snacked on grapes plucked right from the vine. Epic could possibly be an understatement. We biked, took heaps of pictures and made many stops at the frequent fountains to fill up on water pumped in from the fresh water aquaducts underground. Could it truly get any better?
We head to Cinque Terre at some point this afternoon & I just may be able to have a response to that question.
