Me, using my greatest asset to hold the tower up...
I completely forgot about my mini-excursion to Pisa! Our flight to Paris didn't leave until halfway through the day, so Trieste and I spent the morning in Pisa. There isn't a whole lot to the city. Just the tower, and a church that you have to pay to see the inside of. I think the outside is pretty enough...
The tower also costs money. Everything costs money. Money, money, money. And it's in euros, so that means that it costs at least a million US dollars just to breathe the air. It reminded me of the Cake Boss episode where they make the cake that is an exact replica of the Leaning Tower? It was reminiscent because all there was to see for an hour was a tower, and it cost a lot of money. So instead we just sat on the steps and watched all the people taking pictures. It's really funny to watch people pose for the pushing-over/hold-up the tower pictures when you're at the wrong angle.
It's also funny to try to explain to Asian tourists that they didn't actually take a picture of you... especially when they're seriously convinced that they did take a picture. On the bright side, as long as you say "scusa" they think you're Italian, and not American.
Ciao Bella!
