Pisa, Italy 3/20/10

Today we visited the Galleria dell’ Accademia to see Michelangelo’s David. It is an impressive piece to say the least. One of the best marble sculptures I’ve seen. Some others got pics which I may have to steal later. Once done we made the drive to Pisa.

Arriving in Pisa, we instantly headed for the infamous Leaning Tower. Of course everyone did their various poses with the tower, and as Kymm pointed out it’s pretty funny to watch everyone as if they were part of a gigantic choreographed dance. I declined to climb to the top as Eva mentioned that it wasn’t really worth it. It is an odd sight to see, though. Came back at night to see it lit up, but they didn’t do it today, instead using floodlights. The walk to the tower is surprisingly crowded thanks to all the shops that line the main street in town. The tower really is the only claim to fame for Pisa, though.
