Later in the week, it was Mike's birthday. Our gastronomic desires were once again fulfilled with another Tuscan feast, plus karaoke.

The beautiful mural covered upper room. This is where Bruno Cordati apparently loved to paint the most.

As midnight Melbourne time passed, the waiter brought out a piece of tiramisu for Jo's "actual day" of celebration to begin, still eight hours ahead of local celebration time, but well within the week of partying. All confusing, but it helped break the week long birthday party into more discernible blocks. The whole restaurant sang "Happy Birthday".

Not sure what this lion is doing to the person between his paws, but it was an interesting theme in the main church of Barga. A theme repeated a few times here, and regionally, too. We saw variations in churches in Lucca, and other villages we visited. Predominantly gracing the church exteriors, but even as part of the altar or pulpit (as in this case).

I say breakfast, but it was such a late brunch that we really should be honest and call it lunch. Dining in the fantastic open roof space of Casa Cordati.
