Jeanne and Nancy are up early to spend most of the day in Pietrasanta with Vivienne, shopping. I'm out later in the morning on one of the rented "grandma" bikes, taking photos around town, then later out on the good road bike for one last outing before returning it to the shop -- at 25 euro per day, I can't keep it forever.
In the evening we meet cousin Marco and family, and cousin Letizia and family, at a restaurant outside the walls. The food is typical dishes of the area, but comes very slowly to the table and we're there until 11:30 or so, much later than anyone had planned. Marco insists on picking up the check, saying with a wink that's it to make up for our having to eat in the presence of such bad paintings. It's a weekday, and our hosts are doing this after a full day of work... everyone leaves looking tired, but it was a nice visit.
