Tuesday - Pisa


Yesterday, we took the train to Pisa, about an hour, to see the leaning tower. We met a couple of sisters from Utah, and had fun talking with them and hearing about their travels as well. It was fun to see someone from the states.

Bev and I hiked to the top of the tower, and the views from the top were great. After a little shopping in the stores and picking up our lunch of some sandwiches and some dessert, we were back to Florence and hit the Archeological Museum, which has a tremendous collection of Egyptian artifacts. Next on to the Ufizzi museum to see "The birth of Venus" and "The Holy Family" and some others followed by a meal at La Rotunda and back home to crash for another day.

Today we leave for Venice, and as I look back on the time here, we had so much fun, it is such a beautiful city, and the views get even better at night with the light reflecting on the water. So fortunate to have been able to experience it.
