Lucca

We spent the last couple of days in Lucca. We are down to Tuscany now. Lucca is a medieval town known for its towers and intact city wall, which is huge. One especially interesting tower is the Torre Guinigi. It is a tall tower with oak trees (not dwarf trees) growing at the top. We went up the 230 steps to get the panoramic view of the city. 

And a couple of pics from the top.

The town is very nice. LOTS of shops (of high end women's clothes, shoes, and leather goods, Kristen), coffee, gelato, food, and wine everywhere. We enjoyed it.
