Back to Italy

Here are a couple other spots we stopped at near Florence.
The first is Fiesole, pronounced by the locals as "Fie-ah-so-lee" with melodic inflection in the voice. It is a town on a mountain overlooking Florence.





Just a little browsing...




Pisa.
Who would you think the first people we meet as soon as we park (besides the "self-appointed" parking attendants who promise to protect your car for a euro)...




The Tower. You can tell they tried to fix it as they got higher.

It is a little strange to climb since it, you know, leans.

Can you see the tilt?



Everyone had to take this shot... it is the law.


We also visited the Mediterranean while we we were there. Not too warm yet.

I thought Argentina was hte only country with self appointed parking attendants; Italy too?
I'm guessing there are a lot more out there then.
And that tilted building is way too cool.
