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 ...

After our coffee we headed towards the leaning tower and its surrounding cathedral and baptistry we were appropriately impressed with the ...
Last day in Italy
We pack up and leave as the boys say goodbye to the kittens, William creeps into the main house as the old man sleeps and hugs the cats since he knows he will not see them again, goodbye to "peachy" the spider, he wants to pick more apricots but we just left 50 in the fridge and have no room left ithe car for extra rotting fruit...Sad to leave such a fantastic place and a wonderful week, seen so much and had such a ...
Hey, does that tower look like its leaning?
... church that it was supposedly attached to but we could not find an alley that took us around to the back of the church where the tower was so we could only see the very top of it above the church roof. So that’s one other thing Pisa is famous for, a history of shoddy architecture and engineering.
Not exactly in Pisa, but in a small town about 30 kilometers away, is a chocolate producer named Amedei that has a reputation for producing the best ...
