Day 4--Pisa

 Day 4 Pisa

Today we went on an excursion to see the leaning tower of Pisa! Everyone took a morning snooze on our way there for the hour bus ride. When we arrived it was more than just the leaning tower there was a cathedral and a baptistery. Our main excitement was of course the tower so our tour guide was very helpful in explaining the life that the tower went through. She explained how two different architects worked on its structure to keep it from collapsing. 

On our way back Andrea surprised us with an extra excursion to see the Mediterranean Sea! We were able to dip our feet in the crystal clear water and get our toes all sandy. Also we grabbed a snack of fresh fried calamari ! I am so thankful for Andrea and that out of itinerary excursion we were able to experience !!

Making our way back to Florence the views of the Tuscany countryside was breathtaking. You could see the history within the villas and the agriculture.
