Pisa!

So today we woke up early and caught the train to Pisa just for a quick stop to basically…well get the famous picture of holding the building up! Ha! Brad thought it was ridiculous, but luckily he loves me, and went along with it! We got there, and it was actually very impressive at how much it is really leaning! Unfortunately, for some silly reason, they had the grass all blocked off, so none of our pictures looked right! Then a group of teenagers obviously said…screw this…we’re going on the grass…which lead to all the other young people going on the grass..including ourselves! So…much better pictures! It took the cops about 15 minutes before they decided to come out blowing their whistles, in which Brad and I immediately grabbed our packs and ran!

It ain’t no thang…!

Ahhhhhh!

Anyway…with my satisfaction with our pictures, we headed back to the train station to take a train to La Spezia, which is where we go to get to Cinque Terre! Well it was an EMPTY train, so we had out bags on the seats across from us, and i started to sleep on brad’s shoulder when i heard this commotion… about 5 (horrible looking) gypsies were walking down the aisle and getting in everyone’s face talking jibber-jab. The two with babies hanging off them got right up to us and Brad’s going no NO NO, and meanwhile another one was behind them unzipping my bag behind her back! LUCKILY i was watching her and got up and stopped her, AND luckily she only would have gotten emergen-c and vegemite (which i would have cried about) haha but, once i realized…they quickly moved on! It was really scary and got our hearts racing…they were really tricky and i’m sure got plenty of tourists things!
