Bella Bagni di Lucca 
These sound wonderful. I wish I could be there!
The walks should be fun. It is always great to learn something new.
A wonderful initiative, much needed. I do hope it is a successful one.
I hope so too. I did several walks last year and they were excellent.
These look like a lot of fun, but I will probably miss them. Do they take place every year?
This is the first year these particular walks are taking place. There were others last year for the first time and there are other organisations doing them this year. I will write about the others soon.
I do hope they have enough attendees to make the walks successful.
I do too. It is great to see things happening in Bagni di Lucca.
