Part 4 - Lucca

After flying back into Pisa, then taking the train to get into Florence Sunday night, we got up early and took off for Lucca for the Comics and Games Convention! Unfortunately, it was rainy and cold all day, but at least we got seats on the 2 decker train :D

It was really fun, we saw some cool costumes:

Walking into the city from the train station.

An elf!

Inspector Gadget! I overheard some other girls say that yesterday he had an umbrella on top of his head.

The poster

Scott Pilgrim!! Kristen asked if we could have a poster (not thinking we could, but she figured she would try). They said they didn't have any others to give out, but we could come back at the end of the day (that Monday was the last day of the convention). So we came back and he gave each of us that huge poster in Italian!!! That made our day :)

Battle Royale (if you don't know what this is, you should watch the movie)

Artists drawing sketches in their books

Alice and the Queen of Hearts

The entrance to Lucca

The comics portion was inside the city walls, while games was outside

And here we are at the gaming tents

Lord of the Rings (or Il Signore degli Anelli)!

One stand was devoted to dice

Lots of people playing various board games

Oh Becton. I never actually played this game though

All different kinds of games were included, like football of course

Computer games too

Ahh pirates!

Figurines

I'm not sure who she is (I saw some dolls of her character), but the costume is very well done

The guy playing the Joker acted him out perfectly

Sally! Too bad we didn't have costumes

The Japan Palace, there was a ton of anime

Whenever I asked or motioned to take a picture, people had a little pose they did

San Michele in Foro

My Hulk face

The kids section, with magic!

And this was a weird stand. They just took all kinds of different movies and anime and rewrote them with pigs...lots of play on words here Alex

And that's the end of our Fall break adventures! We had a blast :)
