Saturday

Ally Saturday Morning....2am. 
Very Happy.

Saturday got off to a typical late start for us. As you read, Friday night we were out all night so Saturday started a bit slowly.

We chose to ride bicycles into town and ride around the top of the wall (photos to follow), it was an amazing experience. Riding our bikes from the B&B to the walled city was rather intense though. The streets are so narrow and winding that you have really no choice but to ride your bike in the traffic and pray that nobody runs you over. Euro drivers are very good at missing things by inches, so they think nothing about driving by you and brushing you with their car mirrors. It's a little scary, but a lot of fun.
After the bike riding our plan was to clean up and enjoy our last night out on the town before leaving for Capri. Once we got back to the B&B we really didn't have the energy for another night out so we ordered Pizza. There is no delivery in Lucca (or anywhere in Italy it seems), so Benito had to take me to town to get a pizza and calzone. Benito speaky no English and I speaky almost no Italia so it was very weird and awkward. I don't have a pic of Benito, I wish I did . He looks like Mario from the video game.

Meat store....

Sat night we went to bed very quietly and behaving ourselves.... At 1 am Liz called which woke us up but it wasnt a big deal. Then at 4 am, Nick called which was a bit more of a big deal. Nick said his dad offered to allow him to call us. Ally and I had a very funny conversation at 4am about whether Scott was not smart enough to understand the concept of time zones OR if he did know what he was doing and just wanted to be a pain in the ass. I think the truth lies somewhere in between, thus making both true.

In any case, it was good to hear from the kids, whether it be 9pm, 1am or even 4am.

"snack bar" in Lucca was like a 4 star restaurant in U.S.A.
