Pisa To Go

Of course everyone comes here for the Leaning Tower but once you get that out of the way and escape the throngs of tourists, shopping for fashion appears to be at the forefront. But there is more to the Piazza Del Duomo than just the Leaning Tower. The Cathedral, Baptistery and Campoanto all are magnificent examples of architecture. I have to say though that even if the Tower was not leaning the sheer elegance of it's cylindrical design is wonderful. The art, sculptures and frescoes abound but with the price of admissions to some of the sites, it's is a wonder why the national debt hasn't been paid off by the masses of tourists who can't get out their wallets fast enough.

 Travel to Pisa as well as the rest of the country has been a breeze. Train travel is the best. Such a shame, we at home won't improve our infrastructure to facilitate travel by rail. I haven't talked about food much but it goes without saying, the Italians take their food seriously. Service is almost always impeccable and the restaurant menus and ambiance are second to none. Wine is very reasonably priced and the quality keeps me happy. It's been great, but it's time to come home.

 As I always say "if you want to come back, first of all you have to go home". Thanks for following along. See you on our next travel adventure. Saluti and arrivederci!!
