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.

They get their revenge on the rest of the group by nominating a word that no one can say for the day, otherwise they too will need to do 10 push ups. This little game is a good way to start the day of travel! And have a laugh ...
Tacky Tourist Necessary....
... heart of the city and it quite nice. It looks like it is painted but in fact it's made entirely out of marble. A big artistic church with lots of shops, pizza places, and waffle houses/gelato shops surrounding it. There are many other interesting buildings around town that aren’t famous – they just look pretty cool.
Our only full day in Florence started on the wrong foot. Lauren pulled a 'me in Athens’ – ...
