Mon 24/6
- Celle dei Puccini: A tiny, rustic, picturesque village (with a population of 40!!) up in the Alpi Apuane. Beautiful medieval stone cottages up in the mountains. The air smelled sweet, with mixed scents from the pinecones, the flowers and the soil. The local old men are sweet and friendly. They're so excited that their tiny village is going to be in a documentary that they wanted to show us everything Puccini. *awww*
If I have any money when I retire, get old and wrinkly, this will be the place where I'd spend my remaing summers, removed from all worries of the earthly world.
- We finally found a supermarket, outside of the walls which define our existence. Lucca may be historic and picturesque, but no one besides tourists live within ye olde city walls. We raided the place with pleasure.
