Leaning Tower of Pisa!


Pisa was on the way home to Rome, and since it was a 4 hour train ride away from us and we'd heard the Tower was really the only reason to go, we decided to stop on the way and check the Leaning Tower off the list. We were supposed to have two hours in Pisa, but because of some train mishaps.. and the trains being on Italian time, in general, we ended up having just less than an hour to get to the tower, see it all, and be back on the train to Rome.. but we did it! In true Braunstein family fashion, we hopped on a bus to the Tower, took our pictures, grabbed amazing pizza (we had to have pizza in Pisa), jumped on the bus back to the train station just as it was pulling away, and made it on the train to Rome just in time! Success. Obnoxious Italian teenage girls got on about halfway through the trip and started blasting music through the entire train car, but we were probably the only people on the train that loved it because we got our fill of all the American music they were listening to that we missed. As always, we couldn't have been happier when we got to Termini Station and were back in Roma.
