Pisa
A trip to Pisa of course meant we had to take six million photos of the leaning tower. If I had a euro for every time I saw someone doing the hand on the tower pose, our airfare would have been paid for. This was also the beginning of the ever repeating theme of being awed by historical sites and then disappointed by the sight of vendors selling cheap plastic miniature reproductions within close proximity.
These photos don’t do justice to the scenery. This and other sites were just jaw dropping. I wish I would have brought my flash that day. What was I thinking?
For lunch we separated into two smaller groups and went to look for a place to eat. I can’t for the life of me remember the name of the restaurant we ended up in but we had the back room all to ourselves.
Of course we had to have gelato after.
Sadly I found that graffiti is a universal problem.
Dinner that night was memorable in a good & bad way. We all agreed this was the worst meal of the trip so far, so I won’t go into details.
Perhaps to compensate for a bad meal Jimi performed his childhood impressions of Jon.
It’s either some weird camera distortion or you need a leveler because that cylinder-looking building is off. :p Great photos! Keep ’em coming!
Spectacular!
