Pisa/Florence

After Cinque Terra, we headed off to Pisa. We split the day in half, spending the sunny hours in Florence and the evening in Pisa. We don't have too many photos, as it was at this time that the camera broke, so please forgive the blurry images. Florence was...crowded. Crowded and unorganized and chaotic. The Duomo was beautiful, I lit a candle for my uncle and enjoyed the cool darkness of the place. We had pizza, and I had a wonderful waffle with caramel gelatto that melted down my arm. It was a heavenly snack, which almost made up for the uncomfortable experience of Florence.

Pisa was much bigger than we expected. We walked for miles to find the Leaning Tower, where we drank wine from our Nalgenes and sat beneath the moon and talked and gazed up at the Tower, which really does have quite the lean to it. We were surprised to see people up at the top of it. I'd be worried about it falling over. We got to bed around 2, and were up the next morning at 4:30 to walk to the airport to catch our flight to Poland.
