Fri May 9 - San Martino Cathedral, Bike Ride

Marian, Harry & I went to the San Martino cathedral.  Lucca's "Duomo".  Gorgeous inside and out.


Interesting fact:  The building is not symmetrical because one side had to accommodate the tower which was already there.

San Martino - detail

Met up with Toby (she had gone to the modern art museum) and had some lunch at Perbacco in the Roman Forum where we'd been the other day.  Sat outside, lovely weather.

Stopped at a leather shop Toby had discovered earlier.  Wonderful purses and belts and iPhone cases (Harry and Toby each bought one).  Friendly proprietor, family owned, spoke English.  Officina Della Pelle
 

Then we split up and Marian, Harry & I went for another bike ride on the wall - once around plus a bit equals an hour.  Lots of people to dodge this time of day  :)  I love that wall -- maybe my favorite thing about Lucca.  

Dinner:  Went back to Pizzeria Le Mura where we'd had dinner the first night we were in Lucca.  Pizzas and salads and beer and wine and I am so full!  The same nice waiter was there and he took over from another waitress because he wanted our table.  What a sweetie.  Brought us lemoncello after dinner, same as last time.
