Afternoon Delight

I visited the walled city of Lucca today, a few churches, lots of touristy stores, and a tall tower with a tree growing off the top! I didn't actually get to go into any of the ancient churches because unknowingly, (or at least I hadn't really thought it through) I wore a sun dress, which doesn't quite meet the requirements of appropriate attire. Oops...

Piazza dell'Anfiteatro

Sitting under a large umbrella to escape the afternoon heat, i split another long meal with Nick. It was actually quite a light lunch, 1/2 sized bottle of pinot grigio, bruschetta, gnocchi 4 formaggi, and grilled scampi and prawns. IT WAS ALL SPLIT FOR TWO.... sooooo that't not that much?!?!? right?

I have to repeat in my head "don't touch the bread, don't touch the bread"

Tomorrow my cooking lesson is Gnocchi :)

Seeee, light, healthy, delicious
