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.

... these locks on the rails around the river. My roommate, Lauren, told me that it is for lovers to put a lock and throw the key in the river signifying their love for each other. Walking by the river there have to be tens of thousands of locks going around it.
