A night in Pisa

We spent our last night in Pisa.  We really liked Pisa and liked the B&B we stayed at.  It was called Michele Guest House in Pisa.  The owner, Michele, was a very nice man.  He gave us a lot of great advice and recommendations.  Our favorite Italian food we have ever eaten in Italy was in Pisa.

The day we arrived we walked around the city and had our fancy lunch.  It consisted of four courses, a bottle of water, Chianti Classico, and coffee with our dessert.  Not cheap but a very nice treat.  We walked around the town, saw the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and enjoyed the city.  That night we went to a pizza place that the owner of our B&B recommended.  It did not open until 7:30pm so it was a really late night for Caden.  He took a late nap so he made it but sadly was pretty tired the next day.

The next morning Emily and I climbed the Leaning Tower.  Children 10 and under are not allowed to climb the tower.  Collin could have easily carried Caden but we didn't even try since we read beforehand that he would not be allowed.  While Emily and I climbed the tower Collin and Caden hung out.  Collin walked around town a little bit and then played with Caden in the grass near the big baptistry.  Caden was watching some boys from Spain play futball [soccer] amd wamted to join in.  When he got up close to them they were really nice and let him kick the ball.  It made is day and he walked around with the biggest smile.

After the tower we ate lunch, picked up our bags from the B&B and took the 5 minute train ride to the airport.  Pisa is not a very big city and you can easily walk from one end to the other in about 30 minutes.
