Florence and Pisa








Pics of the famous leaning tower in Pisa (it really looks like its about to tumble) and some of the sights in Florence. We only spent a few hours in Pisa - which seemed like plenty. Florence on the other hand - we tried to do in a day. That was tough. There's too much to see. Highlights include Michaelangelo's David (not pictured because they don't allow it), Ponte de Vecchio (the old bridge) and the Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore (Duomo). You can (and we did) climb the dome. 463 steps to the top. And Reagan would only ride with Mama. Jessie powered through. The view of this ancient and beautiful city was more than worth the work. The last pic is just a random lunch stop at a sidewalk cafe for pizza/sandwiches. The landmarks are neat to see, but moments like these are always my favorite memories. Reagan loves the pizza...
There is more to show - but I've got to get organized to get back to reality tomorrow- so it will have to wait for another day. More to follow!!
