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

Rainy Day in Florence
... filled eclair-like things and more delicious cappuccino. Then we headed to the train station to get reservations for our Venice train tomorrow. The line was ridiculously long, but we struck up a conversation with a really nice couple from Canada (Mary swears the husband looked just like the old Dick van Dyke), so it wasn't too bad. When we finally got to a clerk, we were dismayed to discover the train we wanted to take to Venice was full as was the train ...
