After Jeanne caught her plane for home, we came back to Lucca -- just and hour or so away -- for a casual pizza night with Gabriella and Vivianna. When we arrived, it had blossomed into another fairly large gathering: Gabriella and Pietro, Vivianna, Manuella and Mario -- and Luanna, dressed to the nines! We suppose now that we are liked rather than just tolerated as visiting relatives, and it's a good feeling.
We got such a good deal at the Villa Ilaria, and feel so comforted to be back in Lucca and away from the throngs of tourists in Florence, we decided to stay an extra night. Just two days to drive to Napoli to meet up with R. & V. Casali, but things will slow down again once we are there. I am anxious to see if they have snow globes of Pompeii.
