Florence to Pisa to Rome!

18.04 entry

Phew.... I've been on the train to Rome for about an hour now, and I've finally got to blogging about today's events!

We woke up early this morning, as planned, and took the 9:50 train to Pisa. I bought a loaf of bread and a ball of mozzarella (in a bag filled with water) to eat for lunch.

Unfortunately, I only had enough time to see the Piazza del Duomo (where the Leaning Tower is) and the part of the city between the train station and there, but it seemed like a really cute city. I spent about an hour and a half there, then got back on the train to Florence to make it in time for my train to Rome. I was sad to say goodbye to my newest roommates, but hopefully I will meet people just as wonderful as they are everywhere I go.

Just like David, the Tower of Pisa was really, really cool to see in person. I was almost expecting to get there and either it had fallen over or it was actually straight, and everyone was like "jk! We fooled you for all these years!", but it wasn't. Additionally, it was also a really cool structure architecturally. I tried to take some photos of the actual building as well as the fact that it's very obviously leaning over.

Speaking of photos - I've taken roughly 1100 photos so far, which averages out to be about 100 per day. Sadly, I haven't been able to upload any of them yet since I've mostly been working from my iPod. But soon! I hope!

My train is set to arrive in Rome in about 20 minutes - another city, another adventure!
