Pretty much everything in Florence is closed on Mondays, so we caught a train to Pisa to see the leaning tower. It REALLY leans!!! We purchased tickets to see all of the sites on the "Field of Miracles," which included 2 museums, the duomo, the tower and the baptistry. I LOVED Pisa!!! It was perhaps one of the hottest days so far, but there was much to see. I was happy to endure.
I continue to be in awe at the sheer quantity of really great art that we see everywhere we go!!!
Botticelli, Tintoretto, Titian, Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Pisaro, Raphael, etc. etc. etc. They were so prolific. I wonder how they did it?
We caught the wrong train back to Florence, and the one hour train ride turned out to be three, because we made every stop along the way. We missed out on some shopping due to our mistake, but I thought it was very interesting to see some of the local flavor and smaller villages.
Rome in the morning. Every city has had it's own flavor. I'm sure rome will be different too.
