Firenze and Pisa

Ciao!  We are all back safe and sound from our first weekend trip.  What a fabulous weekend I had.  We found our train alright and made it not only to Florence, but Florence and Pisa in one day.  Pisa was such a sight to see!  It was really fun taking pictures with the tower.  We got back to Florence and had dinner and walked around.  There seemed to be something going on all the time.  Music was playing and there was a carousel.  It was a sight to see.  We also saw where the Jersey Shore lives and actually saw some of them!  The next  day we woke up and climbed the Duomo first.  It was worth the workout and my knees were shaking after climbing down.  The lines were long for everything else, so we just walked around.  Markets were everywhere so we stopped and looked around for a while.  We saw the bridges and all the statues.  We climbed up a huge hill that was across the bridge.  I was so done with walking up at this point, but once at the top you could see all of Florence!  We also stopped to see where the Jersey is working this summer.  The bigs cities are so different from Brescia.  Everyone can understand us and we are not the only Americans.  It is a lot easier to get around for sure, but it is nice being back in Brescia for the week.  Florence was such a sight to see and all the shopping was fun too.  Arrivederci!
