As you will see below...the only thing to see in Pisa is the infamous
leaning tower. We didn't do a tour here for this very reason. We braved
the city on our own, taking the bus and a train and walking about two
miles to the tower. It is quite surreal walking down the street, turning
the corner and all of the sudden the tower is there. Leaning it is for
sure, we did a little shopping here, took lots of pictures and enjoyed
the beautiful people of Pisa. There is definitely no shortage of the
beauty genes in Italy! We climbed the tower and were able to see the
surrounding area, it was great but also a little unsettling. The experts
say it has 300 years before it'll topple...whew!

The port of Livorno(Pisa) was obviously a car port..it was so fun to watch the cars drive off a boat and line up
