Italy - Post 6 - Last day in Tuscany

We're up to Friday in our trip and it's our last day at the villa. We all split up during the day and some of the group went to visit an olive oil press. It wasn't "the season" but they were still able to buy a good bit of olive oil which we then brought back home. And I'm pretty sure the woman there offered Aaron a job if he were to come back in November.

The picture on the right looks a lot like getting wine from the hardware store.

Late in the afternoon we all went into Lucca for one last hurrah. We had drinks and snacks on a patio and did some shopping.

Some of us stayed in town for dinner at Osteria Baralla. You know there are some great food pics coming up!

Prosciutto and melon; smoked salmon; risotto with porcini mushrooms; gnocchi with pesto; pork "steak"; rabbit cacciatore. 

It was a long and delicious meal. We took one last picture in Lucca:

Now today I find out that Helene is taking a break from Travel Tuesdays (hopefully not a permanent one), but I still have to tell y'all about our time in Rome at the end of the trip, so come back next Tuesday for that!
