Leaning Towers & Fortified Cities August 2, 2009

Filed under: Uncategorized — petegambino @ 8:28 pm

Greetings from Italy!  So our last four days have been jam-packed with adventure.  Something strange about the tower that you may not know:  it is actually perfectly straight.  It just so happens that every other building in Pisa leans to the right.  Weird, huh?

We spent a day in Lucca, which is an ancient city with 30ft walls that are so thick that you can ride bikes atop of them.  We spent the day walking along them and enjoying the city.

Today, we spent our time in Siena, another small city with HILLS.  Lots, and lots of hills.  Our legs are tired, but our bellies are full of some great pizza from a mom and pop-shop down the street from our B&B.

Tomorrow, we leave for Rome.  On the list: Collesum and St. Pete’s Sq.  This will be the last update to the blog because they next time you hear about our trip…it will be from one of us in person!  Love you all.  See you soon.

    Wow! Sounds like an adventure. Can’t wait to hear all about it. We all eagerly await your safe return back to the old homestead. Continue to enjoy. Have a great time in Rome.
    Kent , guessing you decided not to go to Perugia to look up Nazzarino and Agnasi’s relatives. Maybe next time. Also Josh Weiss is in Rome but does not have a phone,maybe you’ll see him.
    Love hugs and kisses

    Hi Pete n Kent,

    So your epic journey has nearly come to an end?… Just read your blog and it sounds like you’ve had some really good experiences along the way. I’ll put the german festival on my own wish list:) Say hi from me to Cherry Hill and take care!

      Thanks for the well wishes. We hope you had fun on your adventures this summer as well. It was great meeting you and know that you always have a place to stay if you should ever decided to visit Cherry Hill (although we don’t know why you would). Cheers!
