ON THE ROAD TO PISA, ITALY


Our next port of call was Livorno, Italy.  We surely did not want to miss Pisa this time around...namely the famous "Leaning Tower". Some had said not to bother, but I am glad we "did bother" to go. It was truly amazing to see not only how it leans, but it's full construction of marble.  And the tower is not alone in this area (as I had believed). There is a huge baptistry here as well.  The entire historic piazza is called the "Field of Miracles" as some of you make already know.

On our way through Pisa, we took a lovely boat right on the Arno River.....a very peaceful river. (see below)

Of course, before we boarded a trolley which drove us to the piazza containing the "Leaning Tower", we had just enough time to get our hands around a most delicious cappuccino......perfection in a cup!
