I'm getting a little behind my actual travels so I'm just going to rush through my week in Italy...
Italian Meals
it is to eating what the marathon is to running, 4 hours for christmans lunch and then another 3 hours for the dinner, both three course meals not including the antipasta or dessert, it's exhausting but in the most flavorful way possible.
Lucca
A medieval city with many towers and shops, though on the day after christmas it was rather empty, probably for the better as I hate crowds, we climbed to the top of one tower that had some trees planted on top, giving it quite a strage look from both near and far. We wandered through one of the main squares and here is where i had some italian hot chocolate, the name is more of a misnomer as this is more like chocolate fondue than your average cocoa powder in warm milk.
Florence
this is one of the few italian cities that i have actually visited before, it is not much different durring the winter other than that it is one of several city that gets way too cold without snowing. There are lots of people, though it's not crowded, and i was able to just explore the city and take pictures (mostly of bicycles, graffitti and allyways)
Chinque Terra
the "five lands" is a craggy shorline national park with five towns and is the most interesting grape growing country I have ever seen
this is truly a place that can only be done justice by images
of which I hope to have uplaoded in the next few days
