The Journey Continues

        As I mention in my last post, I decided last minute to go to Pisa after my parents left. The city is very pretty and seems like a popular place for college students and universities. Seeing the leaning tower of Pisa really was spectacular. Photos don’t quite do it justice because it was intriguing to see it at every angle and to look at the tower’s grossly shifted base. However, as far as I know this was about the only thing to do there. In that area there was also a cathedral, a museum, and a handful of other things, but I decided against paying to visit them. I instead relaxed some after my tiring two weeks with my parents as well as doing some more last minute planning because I still didn’t know what would be next!

A Vacation from a Vacation: Part I

        I realize that I’m about a month behind in my blog, but it’s always hard to find a chance to sit down and get any work done! This post now will be all about my two week trip with my parents and aunt from May 31st to June 12th, but I'm posting it in two parts.
