Pisa


These two took a Daddy-Daughter day trip to Pisa! There isn't much time before she heads back to the states for university life, and they just needed a day together. I will get her a bit longer than Jonathan as I will be helping her move in this summer. They got a kick out of the "Italian version of the Sun Yat Sen statue in Zhongshan" :) This statue is actually, Vittorio Emanuelle II and many things are named after him. He was the first king of Italy.
walking the streets of Pisa
a cathedral
a statue of Galileo
The site that has been on Regan's list for awhile...the leaning tower of Pisa!
They climbed to the top of it and said it was really wild climbing it.
At the very top they have a guard rail so that you don't fall off. They said the lean really messes with your brain and perception of things.
My hubby...always admiring the architectural models of places

The bells at the top...just like depicted on Little Einsteins when Regan was a little one...haha!

Inside the cathedral
They walked along the city wall. The graves are outside the city wall. People are not allowed to be buried within the city.

It wouldn't be complete without trying the gelato!
 
A little fun
She's so strong to push it over like that!
It really leans a lot!
