ok here goes. there may even be pictures included in this post, so get ready.
so i got to Genoa on Thursday night, May 29. Friday morning, we packed the car and headed for Pisa, stopping along the coast on the way. we arrived at maybe... 1 or 2 in the afternoon? and circled around the tiny roads of the city until we finally found a decent hotel with parking. If I'm not mistaken, we stayed at the Milano hotel or something like that. Anyway, we then walked towards the center of town to see the infamous tower as well as a duomo (generic term for something with a large dome in italy) and some very green grass.
I'm happy to report that the tower does, in fact, lean. we opted not to go inside anything, as it was all exhorbitantly priced, but it was all for the best. all i needed was to be that one person too many for the tower to finally go over. yeeeah. that would be a shame. as a side note, rita is shocked that i did not take a picture of me holding the tower up. hm. i think i'll live :)
So my parents had decided that despite the long distance, I needed to see Rome (which I am still thankful that they decided.) We decided to break the trip up and stay outside of the city the night before and drive in the next day.

In the morning we stopped in Luca, a town pretty close to Pisa. It was a really pretty walled town that we walked around. it had a really cool/pretty cathedral that was pretty similar to the stuff in pisa. a huge surprise was that they happened to be having an antique car show. apparently lucaians are huge car enthusiasts.
ok i suck at finishing this entry. gotta go.
