We checked out of the hotel, with only our carryon bags and walked to the train station. We took the train from Roma Termini to Viareggio, although we had to change trains in Pisa. It took about four hours from Rome to Viareggio. We took a taxi to our hotel, Hotel Plaza E De Russie (the locals call it The Plaza). We got checked in and had a nice room. I thought opening the window and shutters was really cool. Then we were off for some speed shopping. Although we stopped at a place called Crep...

While DH was giving his talk at the conference, I had breakfast by myself in the restaurant, took some pictures from the deck, then went shopping. I needed at least one more casual outfit to survive without my luggage. I went pretty far down the Promenade to hit the stores. When the talks were done we all had lunch at the hotel. From there one of the guys took DH and I, as well as a colleague, to Pisa. We had a great time chatting on the way. Pisa is not far from Viareggio, but the traffic wa...

A colleague drove us and another business associate into Pisa. We had a great chat on the way. Traffic was crazy. They dropped us off right by the entrance to Piazza del Duomo where the Leaning Tower of Pisa is located. Of course, there is so much more to see there, and the town of Pisa itself is a jewel. We went into the square and the first thing we saw was the Baptistry, then behind it is the Cathedral, and behind that is the Tower. To the side is the Camposanto, where ancient sarcophogi a...

When we got back to our hotel in Viareggio at about midnight, we were happy to find DH's suitcase in our room. ...Not mine though. :(

... and limited to pastry or pizza at 5pm, but I found Brasserie La Loggia near the station that had a full menu all day.
Walked in to order a pasta and was amazed and delighted that they also had a display case full of Belgian, German, Dutch and other quality beers.
Had a La Trappe with my bolognese. Even though it's made in the Netherlands it was still a good tripel.
Was ready to go after that but ...
... ill once we made it to the station in Pisa. Not so fun.
Still, ok – we’re now in Pisa, right?, and so we should make the best of it. After getting a better map from the local tourist office, we walked from the Pisa train station to the Fiume Arno River (the same river that flows through Florence). During our walk, we saw this unique, teeny-tiny church named Santa Maria della Spina, which hung right on the edge of ...
... mais apres presque 900 ans, elle est toujours la. dans le meme espace, il y a la cathedrale et un autre batiment , tous ca, en marbre blanc. En dehors de cette attraction, pise possede encore une bonne partie de ces fortification. si non, c'est une ville etudiante, avec 3 universites,donc il y a quand meme pas mal de vie
... as the place was so cramped and nothing else to do in town, but ended up having a good night both nights we were there.
Sunday did the walk between the 5 towns from Riomaggore to Monterosso. Took about 4.5 hours including thestops in each town to check them out.
The views out over the Ligurian Sea are stunning. Leaving one town and seeing the next far off in the distance, and sometimes a lot higher up in altitude, was really cool.
... and I had a wonderful 50th. Everyone sang to me in the small restaurant. Thank you everyone for following us and keeping us close with your wonderful comments. To sign off I will say that.....

... We had our meal, and afterwords discussed the bands that the two of them liked and the concerts that they did (and did not) go to in college. Pretty funny, from my perspective. Dad and I went out and body-boarded some pretty decent waves, and went back to pick up the mother before finding a new perch with cheaper drinks and a better view. We found this pretty quickly, and sat for about an hour before it looked like it was going to storm. The wind picked up and the sky ...

... but Kat, Maike, Ashley and I stayed in Florence to enjoy the city at our own pace for the day. Usually we see Florence from a compleatly touristy point of view, but on Sunday we had time to enjoy the city as locals. We had a two hour breakfast, sitting in a cafe eating and talking and eating some more! The food here is amazing. I cannot even explain how good and fresh every thing is. The rest of the day we bummed around town ...
