We had 5 transfers total~WA-Philadelphia-Munich, Germany- Pisa, Italy (train and taxi ride)- Lucca, Italy - final destination. I had a day's worth of travel time, waited 2 extra hours for the train from Pisa to our final destination due to a missed and a cancelled ride, but it's one amazing, traveling experience with a group of UW students. I had fun meeting everyone again; I will be with two other girls, Sarah and Anupama, both UW pre-med students.
By 6pm, we went on a quick tour of the nearby plazas. I was at awe at the amazing, architectural structures and Italians walking and driving everywhere! Shops are just close-by, like going through a village within a village of mini outlets! We probably passed by more than 3 churches, just walking-distances away from where we currently live, called Ostello San Frediano.

We headed back by 7pm. The whole group gathered and ate some Italian dinner with pasta, bread, fresh salads, marinated pork (with perhaps a hint of rosemary), and sweet, red wine (like the one served from church). Afterwards, we went out to eat some gelato.. I had the tiramisu-flavored one.
Tomorrow we'll have more walking and tourist sites to see in Lucca alone with a tour guide. I can't wait to try the Italian home-made pizzas!
