PISA

And last, but not least, the Pisa Tower. Perhaps Ryan's and I favorite monument. Just huge and right there so easy to contemplate...We got a little creative as you can see when it came down to picture taking :D

This is a castle just right next to the Tower. Pretty much a complex of castles and palaces arounf the tower. Beautiful and hard to believe they were so close from each other (never seen that before anywhere in Europe)

Another castle/palace

And...after so much pizza, fettucinni, pasta, tomatoe sauce, more pasta....and pasta again we gave up and had to have McDonald's right before we left Pisa. The hamburguer tasted different than in the states...that was for sure interesting!

And on the way back to Rome to spend the rest of the night and part of the next morning where we decided to re-visit the Roman forum.

ROME ( Roman Forum)

A good view of the Colisseum.

These are the trees you also find in Brasil. Ryan really likes them.
