I Go to My Homeland: Lucca, Italy

How many years have I dreamed of going to Lucca, Italy? 
This summer I made it.
Here is a picture of my sister and me after we arrive on the train.



There is a wall all around Lucca.
It was once used for protection.
Now it is mainly used by joggers and bike riders.




Here we are, riding around the wall of Lucca on our bicycles.




Later we spend a lot of time walking. 
Much of the streets look like they are paved with kitchen tile.




The streets are narrow.



There is art everywhere.


The doors and windows can be quite massive.


Sometimes we rest.


I hope I can go back to Lucca some day.

  9. Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos of your trip. My husband and I went to Italy many years ago, but we only hit the usual places: Rome, Florence, Venice, and the Cinque Terra. Looks like we missed a jewel when we didn't see Lucca, too.
    Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving a comment.
