Today we took the train from Bagni di Lucca where we stayed with my dad's cousin, Kathy. They live in a nice little house up on a hill in a 10 house village called Riolo. We tried to go to a Roman bath but it didnt work out because we needed resevations in Bagni di Lucca so instead we went to a vinyard and sampled so local wines. It was so picturesque and away from the business of Florence. The house is super nice. All we did was go around with Aunt Kathy and her entourage to restuarants and bars. With Aunt Kathy is Mike, Mike's son Michale, and Mike's whitty old uncle Dante (93 years old). Dante still speaks a little Italian from his childhood because his parents emmigrated from Italy around the turn of the century. The house that Mike restored is actually Dante's parent's house from before they moved to America. It is a really neat place. If you have the time to visit you should.
