Benvenuti a Lucca!

Okay the picture says Florence, nevermind. Benvenuti all the same! We are on our amazing long trip to Lucca, Italy! We arrived yesterday after long travels, discovering, (so far, knock wood) that Harper is a great little traveler. So pleased about that.

(As ever, you can click on the pictures for bigger images.)

Distractions during flight.

Got our rental car - Harper named it "Dynamo" - though it's not as speedy as all that...

First Gelato! I think I'll start a new blog called "Sempre Gelato" (Gelato, always).

Harper took our picture with her camera: I love it!

Next day we went to the walls!

Found a cool playground (which I suspect we'll visit often):

Also, we rented one of these four-wheeled bike dealies. Mistake...! It looks fun, but it's only really fun for Harper. (Even though she didn't want to smile, so maybe it was not as much fun for her as we thought.)

THIS!

But let's get serious. We can buy KINDER EGGS ANY TIME WE WANT! THEY ARE JUST SITTING THERE!!

(They are illegal in the US, fyi.)

Love that smug half smile -- "Anytime I want, people. Any. Time. I. Want."

So much more to come!
