Pisa




Sorry I have not posted in several days, we used all of our Internet time and didn't have a connection once we got off the ship.
We went to Pisa and had a great time. I wanted to climb the tower but mom didn't and I didn't want to go by myself so we walked around and saw the baptistery and the church. While in the baptistery a guy sang a short song which in the building sounded like 5 or 6 people were singing. The sound resonated off of the marble it was great. Of course we took the holding up the tower pictures and we had a lot of fun.
We then went through Tuscany to the medieval hill town of San Gimninaughno (I know that it's is spelled wrong but I don't have my book with me to tell me how to spell it). The city was great we got a workout walking up to the main square though. It is built on a hilltop and the buses drop you off at the bottom and you have to walk up. I think you can see the grade on the picture of me and mom. We did some shopping and we found a great watercolor shop and bought some art there. We also went into a leather store and we both bought leather purses. Mine is orange and mom's is black! We had a tremendous time even though we were running for the bus because we were running late due to the shopping.
See you soon
Becky
