Pisa: Day 4



We came to Pisa for the sole purpose of seeing its famous Leaning Tower. However we arrived there in a bit of a quandary, we had no place to spend the night. With nothing but an address of a possible location that I had spied out online the night before, we set off in search of beds for the night. We passed by the Leaning Tower, all lit up in the night sky, and then found the hostel. Once again God blessed us mightily! There was a room open for us and for less than we had anticipated. Although it was freezing cold in the room we were able to buy a pizza a bring it back to the room and then eat it while watching Home Alone 2, just one of the few Christmas-themed movies that I had brought for us to watch. The next day we got a late start but had ample time to see the Leaning Tower and its neighboring cathedral (which was stunning!). Walking back to the train station we enjoyed a wonderful Italian pastry before being whisked away to Florence!
