Pisa was the first place that we actually traveled to all on our own. We just made a day trip out of it on the Sunday after the wine tasting. The trains were very confusing to figure out at first but they were definitely a lot cleaner and faster than the ones from home. After about only an hour we were there! The town was overall very quiet and dead compared to Florence. I would kind of even describe it as deserted. The first thing that we did was walk straight over to see the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It was pretty much exactly what I pictured it to look like. We all hung out around it for a decent amount of time trying to get the perfect pictures. It was not as easy as it looks!! Even after all of that time I still wasn't satisfied with my final picture. Afterwards we went for lunch at this restaurant that was nearby and clearly meant for tourists. While we were eating this older guy came slowly walking down the street playing a guitar and singing loudly in Italian, which was very peaceful. It was something that I knew would never happen back in New York. There really wasn't much more to do or see. Most of the stores were closed. We stopped at this little souvenir shop on our way back to the train station and I bought a shot glass that is actually tilted on an angle. The day was short and sweet but good practice for us all and the perfect first trip.
