Days 11 and 12: Pisa, Florence and Rome
... painted buildings and lampposts along the river. So we walked down to the Square of Miracles (loose translation) to see the Leaning Tower. We had so much fun just walking around, going into the cathedral and crying, and taking tons of stupid tourist pictures that were awesome. Now, the Tower and everything else was great, but the real highlight was an unplanned, 1-second event. Here's a little background: We were walking on the street and my mom ...
Day 10: Florence
We started the day with a major bummer: Bradley left for home bright and early, which makes me really sad. I miss him already and I'm jealous that he gets to see our pooch and smoosh his little Louie face. There are a ton of dogs in Europe, by the way, and people bring them everywhere with them.

Many people we have met along the way suggested us to ...
Firenze! Sydford runs into ANOTHER festival!
... sculptures already, Aaron was a bit, just a very small bit, doubtful that this piece of art was going to blow him away as everyone claims. Well it turns out everyone is right, it's friggin amaaaazing! We gazed at this masterpiece for about 20 mins in total, just taking it in, and then moved throught the rest of the museum (still thinkig about the David though). We both agreed that this museum likely ruined a bunch of sculptures we have yet to ...
