Rome Trip: Friday, Dec. 19, 2008

On our free day, Rachel and I decided to visit Pisa, and then head back to Florence to do some shopping. Last time I visited Pisa, I did not have enough time to climb the tower. It was definitely worth the extra trip to Pisa again just to make it to the top of the Leaning Tower. The climb is a little scary (narrow spiral stairs... leaning), but the view and the accomplishment are worth it.

Myself on top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

From here, it is pretty evident that the tower is leaning at almost 4 degrees.

Some stones on the side of the Cathedral in Pisa (the writing is different on each block indicating that this stone came from the Colosseum).
