Wednesday-July 18th-I traveled, by car to Pisa, Italy. I thought I'd try to find the Juliet thing in Verona, so went there first. Big Mistake when you don't know where you are going! So back on the Autostrede and headed to Pisa. This route took me through a mountainous/hilly region with lots of tunnels around Florence. Another long and exhausting drive. But, when I got to Pisa...Easy! Signs that take you to the Tower and to an awesome parking area that cost me only 1.5 euros for 2 hours. This was an amazing place. And, I finally found some good deals on leather handbags! YAY! I will post the pics later, but this is a must see if you go to Italy.
The Tower was actually originally built to be the bell tower of the Duomo di Pisa, The Cathedral of Pisa. Gorgeous just stunning!!! And behind the Cathedral is the Battistero, the Baptistry. The 3 structures go together and are jaw dropping. No, I did not choose to climb the tower. It didn't appear too many did, or they did and they were the ones that appeared to be dying of exhaustion surrounding the tower. Lots of people taking pictures of each other trying to "hold up" the tower. Very funny!
I really loved this trip and wish Howard and I had taken it together. It was beautiful. Miss you sweetie!
More pics later.
