Lucca, Italy: Today's Travel Photo

(Photos by Cheryl-Anne Millsap)

We had our choice. While in Italy, we could head out for a day in Pisa, following in the footsteps of most tourists traveling through Tuscany, guidebooks in hand, marking the Leaning Tower off the bucket list. Or, we could take the train to the small town of Lucca. We chose the latter.

The Piazza is the site of an ancient Roman amphitheater and is still a popular gathering spot for locals and tourists.



Oh, and for Opera lovers, Lucca is the birthplace of Giacomo Puccini. Are you humming Nessun dorma now? I am...

Today most of the peoples are loaded with sever work pressure, therefore planning for a short vacation away from the hassles of life is needed so much these days that we can go to any lengths for that.
