Days 11 and 12: Pisa, Florence and Rome
I combined yesterday and today because, well, quite frankly we were too drunk last night for me to post. I'd say "Sorry Mom," but she was the drunkest of us! :) So yesterday, Tom, Dad, Mom, Carleigh and I hopped a train out to Pisa, because Mom and CJ hadn't seen the leaning tower yet, and the rest of us loved the town and really wanted to go back. Pisa, by the way, is so adorable. The town itself is small but so very Italian with its little ...

Inside we could see one of the winemakers using a hose inside one of the steel vats to mix the liquid and the skins. ...
Firenze! Sydford runs into ANOTHER festival!
... to walk along the inside of the dome to get to see an outside view) was more than an hour, we decided to head to Pitti Palace and return later.
Pitti Palace was enormous! It was a good distance walk to the outside edge of the city, and we were a little tired and sore by the time we got there. We opted for ticket number 2 which allowed us into the Bardini and Barbilini (sp?) gardens, the porcelin museum and costume museum. The gardens were ...
