Don holding up the Tower of Pisa.LIVORNO is the gateway to Florence-Italy's Renaissance City. Don and I had both been to Florence so we hired a driver, Ferdinando, who met us @ the port and drove us to Pisa where the Leaning Tower of Pisa tilts precariously above the Piazza dei Miracoli and has become a trademark of Italy. Then to Lucca where we had a guide, Antonella, waiting to show her charming medieval village of Lucca. Featured are the historic city walls which were built to encircle the town in the16th century. In the 19th century they were redesigned to include a verdant, tree-lined promenade, making a perfect enclosure for the serene city within. Lucca is often called the "City of 100 Churches". We had pizza for lunch and headed to the ship.
