All about pizza ...oops... Pisa

We have been able to go to so many cool places on this trip. One day we went to Pisa, it is famous for the leaning bell tower. I bet Kaitlyn and Rachael's daddy wouldn't be so silly as to build a house on ground that is so soft the whole house would fall over, but that is what these builders did. Except instead of a house they built a very tall bell tower.


Even before it was finished being built it started to lean over, but they just kept on building it. I guess the amazing thing is that it didn't fall over entirely. We decided we needed to take a picture (like all the other tourists) where we are holding up the tower.

Then we sat on the steps of the Duomo (the church building) as we waited for Auntie Kendra to climb all the many steps of the tower - we were too tired to climb all the steps with her! There was some old Latin writing on some of the marble steps but we couldn't read it.


Then after supper we had a very long drive home, and we didn't get in until after midnight.
