Visiting Lucca and the Sea

Lucca!



Lucca is a very cute and small city. It is completely surrounded by these huge walls. A much more humble city than Florence but this place has a lot of history!

Thank you http://www.italianvisits.com/ for this photo of the walls!





Church of San Michele
The the square of Church of San Michele, the white tent to the left is an ice rink for the holiday season.

One of the doors into the city



We had made it to the sea, the boat was still in its spot. Semi neglected, but so were the other boats ~ winter~. Then we decided to drive down the coast to Forte Di Marmi to get a snack at Vale, where the best little baked bread rounds.. like a small pizza dough -just the dough- they are called schiacciatine.

Thank you http://www.italiancase.com/ for the Forte Di Marmi photo!

This was just before Gimmy made this cute little car turn into the moster when he put an euro in it...pour Sisi took some time to calm down from the crying.


The schecciatine


We are all eating the same thing. There were many tables out, all filled with people and everyone eating the same schiacciatine. Everyone. Apparently, Vale sells other items, but this is the most popular.
