Well, I'll start with Pisa...

[Feb 8-9]

Clearly you should not be expecting much from me when it comes to this blog. Keeping up with it is not much of a priority, I'm not even really sure why though!

Anyways, a couple weekends ago my roommates and I went to PISA!! It was a wonderful weekend. We only spent one night there which was more than enough for such a small town. Here's a quick run-down on what we did, with pictures, and not to much writing...

We saw the tower:

It was very cool! We also made sure to look as touristy as we could and took every ridiculous "leaning tower" picture we could... here are some of my favorites! :)

<--|I was just glad I got to feel tall for once in this one ;)

Me kicking the tower over!

I would have liked it a little better if I had been standing closer to the camera, that way I could have kicked higher on the tower. But really, it took us an astoundingly long time to discuss and figure out how to best frame and take these pictures.

In the end though, I figured out how to take a picture so it looked like this!! Ha, I am pretty happy at how this one turned out!

We also got to walk around at night and I got some pretty decent night shots of this beautiful area!

Me!

The next day we went to the Tower again, and then went to the Gardens that are in Pisa. I can see that it would be BEAUTIFUL in summer, but alas, we were there in Winter so the colors were a little drained... Here are some doctored up pics though, I used the "color saturation" tool on my computer:

There was this little park area, and they had mini trampolines!! 

I just loved how this little sitting area looked!
(I did enrich the color a little though!)

By the end of our stay, we were exhausted. And it started sleeting a little bit so we waited in the train station for a little while before we headed back to Rome:

Ciao!
