Welcome dinner

We checked into the Hotel Stella for the start of our G Adventures tour. The hotel is a 3 star near the Termini station. Clean & fairly large rooms, and good internet. They have an old-time cage elevator! Not as nice an area or a hotel as our last, but fine for 1 night. We met up with our group of 12, 1 man and 11 women. 8 from Canada, 2 from the US, 2 from Australia & 2 from Kuwait. Our guide is Anna from near Napoli. It seems like a very good group.
We all went out for dinner near our hotel. I had the roast lamb which was good , and green beans not so good. Not nearly as good as our lunch the other day. 18 euros for dinner with wine.
An earlier night, then a walk this morning before catching our train to Massa in Tuscany. It had rained in the night, but a beautiful morning. We walked over to San Pietro in Vincoli to see Michaelangeo's stature of Moses. Very impressive even though part was under scaffolds. The streets in the area we walked through were very pretty.
It sounds like internet might be problematic in Garfagnana, so I may not be able to post regularly.
