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. Pisa, by the way, is so adorable. The town itself is small but so very Italian with its little ...
Livorno, Italy

Il fait beau et chaud. C'est la dolce vita à son vrai sens!
Nous avons marché sur un sentier pédestre pour nous rendre au prochain village qui s'appelle Manarola. Encore ...
Five Lands
... Terre card gives me free access to all trains and trails!). In Manarola I did a quick walk about town, paused and bought a focaccia bread slathered with pesto and carried that to the harbor where I found a pleasant rock and parked myself. Skillfully changing into my swim suit with out flashing the neighbors, I took a dip, and ate some lunch watching kids jump off a high rock in the center of the harbor in to a deeper pool below. After that it was time to head back to Vernazza and ...
