To celebrate making it through hump day my first week of camp, and also because it was 90 degrees, I thought gelato was in order. The past two days I'd taken short bike rides and walks inside the walls of Lucca, exploring a bit. It really is beautiful. I chose a place that looked busy and I chose right! I had stracciatella (chocolate chip) and pistachio as a proper reward. SO GOOD. Tip: the darker the pistachio, supposedly the better it is. Well done Gelateria Veneta.
Some scenes from Lucca whilst eating gelato:
Now it was time to find the river and go for a run..Tell me though, where does one tuck away a key this size on themselves when going for a run?
I locked the bike up against a sketchy fence and hoped for the best. It was hot, but running in one of "the picturesque settings" that THE LIST required was definitely going to be accomplished.
It was a gorgeous run (check!), but I was a sweaty mess. I also learned something. Never run after eating gelato.
