Our day in Pisa. We started out walking by the river Arno, very beautiful. We made our way to the market which is open most days from 8 to 6. After some more touring, we picked up some fruit, bread, cheese, and beer for a picnic later. This is a much sm,aller town than Rome, but the are many tourists here to see -- The Tower. We too made our way there, did the tourista thing, and had our lunch. After siesta (everything here closes from 1 to 3) we went out for the night. After a light appetizer of chips and a couple of glasses of wine, we were ready for dinner. The town was pretty rowdy as the World Cup game (Spain Germany) was on. Many locals were wearing Spanish flags or gear. A few German tourists tried to keep up, but were out numbered. We had a nice pasta dinner and walked home among the singing, drunk fans.
Tomorrow we head to Cinque Terra. We are supposed to meet Jerry and Steve when they come in via train here. Kari and family may arrive too, and we will all head out together. We'll see what the connection is like there. Until then ...
