Pisa with Mama, Auntie, and Toni!

Yes we did make it to the leaning tower in Pisa...it was a fun night! Toni and I decided we should go, so after class we hoped on a train and made it happen! Even though it was in the evening, we all thought it was just as amazing and maybe even a little bit more so because of it. These were my favorites from our little adventure!

This is the church and battistero. Both of these were of gothic origins, so they were very detaied and contained a lot of dark marble. Both of these were done by a Pisano, two very famous architects known through tuscany.

Yes that is me..yes I am holding up the tower..hehe!

The tower was said to be an experiment on the nature of gravity by Galileo..could be true or could be legand. However, facts that are known are that the tower was supposed to be a bell tower for the church, construction started in 1173, and once they reached the third story the leaning began. They architects attempted to correct this by various methods, but ended up making things worse. Since then people have tried to anchor it firmly to the ground, but who knows how long it can stand....

Although a little blurry you know it is us! Mama, me, and Auntie Joanie:)

Next up..Zurich!
