Upon arrival, I fell in love with Rome. I loved everything I saw, however I did not enjoy our bus ride through the city with what seemed like 200 people crammed in on the bus. After receiving bad directions and having to walk about 15 minutes, we arrived at another one of Ana's friends apartment around 1am. She immediately takes us out to show us around here neighborhood and to let us meet some of the people she is going to school with. We come back to the apartment and start eating and talking and before we realized it, it was 5:30 am. So we slept for an hour and then got up to start exploring Rome's treasures before we had our 10:00 am train to Pisa. The first place we went to was the Colosseum which was #1 for me. I had always wanted to see it so I was really happy to finally see and touch it. We then went to the Trevi fountain which was also incredible. After that,we had a really expensive breakfast on some famous plaza and headed to the train station.
We arrived in Pisa around 2 pm after the four hour train ride. The only thing in Pisa is the Leaning Tower of Pisa so we headed straight to it. There is a really nice cathedral beside the tower too so I got some pics of it as well. The tower is pretty cool. one of the those things you would never think you would actually get to see and then all of a sudden you are with thousands of other tourists taking probably most cliched picture holding up or pushing the tower. We then went and had lunch, pizza of course, and then hopped on a bus to the airport. Finally time to come home.
