Everything Leans in Pisa

Reuben and I debated the title of this post..... his choice was, "Pisa is a run-down house with an un-kept lawn." In any case, between the two, I think you get the point. If you ever have the chance to visit Pisa, I would strongly encourage you to dedicate no more than 4 hours of your time to this city. Your 4 hours should be dedicated to seeing the Leaning Tower, and maybe grabbing a quick pizza lunch. Still.... seeing the tower is pretty damn cool. It takes you back to Weekly Readers and 5th grade history class - - it's got to be one of the first landmarks you learn about as an American.

Disenchanted with Pisa, we ended up taking a side trip to the nearby town of Lucca, where Puccini hails from. Completely charming - - stay there instead if you go! See more pictures of Pisa and Lucca here (including the obligatory one where you pose like you're holding up the tower)

It's no joke, everything leans
