Pisa, IT

This morning was our trip to Pisa. As it turned out, we had a slightly smaller group (just the interior design students), as the others had gotten back pretty late and were strewn across the apartment along with the Absinthe, wine, and failed batch of Spag.

We caught the 8:29am train to Pisa. From the station in Pisa, its pretty much just a straight walk to the main attraction. Tickets to the cathedral and baptistery were paid for by the program, so it was up to us if we wanted to climb the Leaning Tower. It's 15 Euro.
We all got tickets for 1:20pm. Five minutes before you go up, you must check your bag b/c it's such a narrow stairwell. The spiral staircase around LToP is dim lit, with a window here and there (on the left side). On the fifth floor you can go out and walk all the way around, then its back up for some more.
On the very top, there is a smaller, more narrow stairwell that leads to the tipi top. The experience takes about a half hour. (I got plenty of picts!)

I ate lunch with my roommate and we walked around looking at gifts. At 2:30 we met at the fountain and walked back to the train station. We arrived back in Florence at 4:30.

Tomorrow is biking in Chianti!
