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 ...
David's central feature causes dads' unease.
... five star meal for five people comes with a cooking class, you can reduce the price of the class significantly. And I believe this instruction will help feed my family for years to come.

We cooked a really tasty pesto pasta and salad dinner, and called it an early night. Then, our one full day of exploration in the city ...
Two words: Gelato Festival
... its because I've reverted to a vegetarian diet here and my body is yelling at me for some protein. No, I wasn't planning on not eating meat but the beef here is usually of a lower quality. Also I have this thing where I love to eat chicken and pasta together but they don't really have that as a dish here. Don't get me wrong, I am by no means complaining about the food here. I've loved or at least really liked practically everything I've eaten. I just eat less meat and ...
