Lucca Day Trip

Thanks to friend Nancy L (She's a great gal), we decided to extend our Pisa trip to include Lucca!

We made a circle in Lucca:
Train station, through the pedestrian gate of the city wall, North to the Duomo, North again to the tower (stopping on the way for gelato!), and North again to the Piazza dell'Anfiteatro. Then West and South to the San Michele church, South to Piazza Napoleone, South and East back to the Duomo, then back to the train.

Duomo

Quiet small square for cellists

Interesting streets

Tower (see the tree?)

Piazza

Can't find a way to bring this home...

Reminded me of someone...

Chiesa (church)

Fun outside the church

(Life imitates art)

Piazza Napoleone

More Duomo (very interesting stonework!)
