Pisa.

I finally got to see the infamous Leaning Tower of Pisa and was taken back completely. It's something I've heard about and seen in pictures for the longest time but having that feeling of amazement and astonishment as you look up and have it right there in front of you is a feeling that's indescribable. The town itself was run down and made me appreciate the life I'm living in Florence but Pisa still takes the cake over a lot of cities in the states. In Italy you can't explain the architecture and the history of the buildings or the cobble stone streets, it's something you have to experience as you take every step toward where you are going. 


Cliche, maybe but it's the truth. I thought the tower would be the highlight of the trip but it wasn't. I went into the Cathedral of Pisa and words cannot even begin to describe what I saw. Paintings dated back from centuries ago, the architecture was the most amazing architecture I have seen so far since I've been here. The statues, ceilings, paintings, floors, and walls all told stories that date back from centuries. I have pictures I'll post but it still won't be able to capture the essence of what I was able to see by standing there myself. Italy is the most beautiful place in the world  and living out here for a week and a half has made me see and appreciate a lot of things about life.
