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 ...
Day 10: Florence
... We watched some kids run into a creperie and decided it was time for Mom to try her first Nutella crepe. They are so gooey and chocolatey and sweetly delicious.

Hint: It was always due to religious beliefs. On the downside, I think I've decided that I really prefer smaller, less crowded museums. I like it to be sort of quiet so I can look at everything in calm and really appreciate ...
A Tuscan Trio
... the entrance is easily recognisable by the copius amounts of graffiti, mainly written by couples wanting a piece of the classic couples romance. Two hundred plus tourists crammed into a tiny courtyard does not lend itself to a romantic atmosphere, nor does the queue of men and women waiting to touch Juliet's right breast (the statue - apparently this brings you a new lover - Chris and I steered well clear). Nonetheless, it was very pretty and being fans of the star ...
