My family came to visit me in Italy. My Grandma, my Auntie Loretta, and my Auntie Sharon came. They stayed for 3 weeks!! We had such a great time. It was really nice to see some family after all this time. They stayed in Lucca which is an hour and a half by train away from Florence. The house they stayed at is one that my great-great grandfather built. Its in a small town right outside of Lucca called San Michele di Moriano. There was a tiny bakery at one side of the town and a tiny store at the other end. It was such a cool house. It is huge and yellow and so homey and cozy. I hung out with them a lot and we went to the Uffizi Museum, Venice, Cinque Terre, and wine tasting in Chianti. We also made home-made lasagna! The three weeks went by soooooo fast. We all had such a great time :)
