Lucca & Pisa

The renaissance walls completely surround the city of Lucca. Because it is very flat many tourists rent bikes and ride all around the area.

Puccini's birth place. I would have loved to attend one of the many concerts held in the gorgeous churches.
A little to our surprise but one of our son's favourite groups is performing at the Piazza ( outdoor concert) in July. Move over Puccini as Dave Matthews takes over !

Tower Guinigi is well known for the trees growing on the top.
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is truly leaning !!!! They finally stabilized the earth so it would not eventually fall down!
Stay tuned for more pictures we are on our way to Sicily next week.
