Hello.

So I don’t know what else to add for today. Pisa was exactly what I expected:

• Get on train.

• Get off train.

• Taxi to leaning tower.

• Laugh at stupid people taking picture pretending to hold up the tower.

• Take Jeff’s picture pretending to hold up the tower.

• Eat pizza in Pisa; take photo to commemorate.

• Climb tower (Jeff did - 294 slippery, tilted marble steps with no handrail was not my thing.)

• Eat gelato.

• Taxi back to station.

• Get on train.

Tomorrow we’ll go to the Ponte Vecchio and check out some real bling in the jewelry shops there and probably visit the Pitti Palace, too. We also need to get back to the Duomo at Santa Maria del Fiore and visit the inside of the church before we head out of Florence on Monday afternoon.

But in the meantime, there is food to be eaten – hopefully we can get into Il Latini for dinner tonight as it sounds fabulous.

Ciao!
