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 ...
This Isn't A Clever Title
... down first. I was a little worried, because I had no experience haggling and I expected to sort of suck at it. (Remember earlier I said my budget was max 325 euros.)
I didn't have to worry.
When we asked how much it cost he said, because his friend brought us in, 240, without tax... 200. (US$280)

Buona sera, y'all!
... get ready for our welcome dinner in Montecatini Alto (high - alto - up the mountain at the top of a narrow, winding road). I wanted to run up the four flights of stairs just to get into the shower! But, cooler heads prevailed and I waited for the elevator. Our room was small, but comfy. Okay, my bed was like a rock. I have a nice firm mattress at home, but this was like sleeping on a board. Okay, that's a lie. There was padding... on my body! In the long run, it ...
Italy can not stop my piracy
... we stayed until we had to pull ourselves together and make our way to Rome! We chugged the cold meds and pulled our boots up for that one but that is a blog for later on.
Disclaimer: Its funny that I recount this story now. This is the first time in weeks that we have drunk anything and as I write this I have a 3/4th empty 1.5 litre bottle of red wine sitting next to me. Snake Plissken once said "The more things change the more they stay the ...
