After leaving France behind, we headed for Italy. Our first port was Livorno, and from there we took a 30 minute tour bus ride to Pisa, home of the famous leaning tower.

After a 15 minute walk from the parking lot, we finally arrived at Miracle Square and there was the tower from which Galileo had dropped weights to demonstrate his theories of gravity.

It was awesome.

While Fuzzy took pictures, Debbie and the kids shopped, but not before we took a series of obligatory family photos, including the mandatory "I'm holding up the tower" photos.

If we hadn't had the kids with us, we might have taken the tour that included Florence, which has much more to see than Pisa. But that would have been a much longer day.
