Lucca is a charming little walled city near Florence. Everyone rides bikes there - even the cute, little older ladies. Thanks to Rick Steves I was able to find the entrance into town through the wall.
I wandered through town on a Sunday when everything was closed and found a tower to climb...
While I was up there I wanted to call home and tell them I climbed a tower and was looking over the orange rooftops of a walled city, but it was three in the morning at home...(Actually, I did call Crystal - sorry, Honey!) Instead, I took a self-portrait in the wind. I was there! Really!!! 
After the tower, I found a botanical garden at the edge of town! I thought I was in a dream...I spent hours walking through the garden in my heels. (Ah, Italia - mi e' piaciuto)...
I sat under a two hundred year old Magnolia tree and, again, I thought I was in a dream...
Che fantastica! C'era una Luccan tortuga nel giardino...

It's ok Mama, you can call me from Italian towers anytime. These photos are beautiful! I love you!
Wow, this is really a great way to share your experience over there, although I have to admit being a bit jealous. Some of these places just seem like they would be fascinating to actually see in person. Keep the pictures (and the comments) coming!
