Lost in Italy: Pisa

We left Siena behind us today to head for the coast. But before we go to the Ligurian Sea, I decided we had to stop and see the most famous of all leaning towers, Pisa.

Now truth be told, Pisa is not the most beautiful of cities. It's dirty and rough and full of tourists once you get to the tower itself. Not a place you actually want to linger, but the tower really is beautiful. And if you can get past the crush of tourists wandering about and lounging on the grass (despite the signs in 3 languages that practically plead on their hands and knees for people to stay off the grass), it really is a lovely stop along the way.

We didn't linger very long before we both agreed it was time to move on to our next destination: Livorno!
