Our time in Florence came to an end, and we continued on toward Pisa. We did not have a lot of time but we wanted to see the famous tower. So our visit of Pisa included running around and trying to find the right bus. Once we finally found it our 1 hour bus pass started. So we rode 15 minutes to the tower, got out, took the pictures, then got back to the bus just before our time ran out. It was cool to see the tower and yes...it is still leaning.
After leaving Pisa Nate and I headed to Sienna. This small town was highly recommended and listed as a favorite for many. When we arrived by train no town was in sight. The road went uphill in 3 different directions. We had no map, so we randomly chose one road. After walking about 10 minutes uphill we merged onto a highway headed to Rome, so we realized this was the wrong way. We turned around and trudged up the other hill. Fortunately, this lead us into the old downtown. Our hostel that night was nice and it had an incredibly view. We walked around the town square that night. It was Valentine's Day so we decided on a nice dinner. However, most places were full or by reservation only. So we settled on a Chinese restaurant (very Italian! hahaha). It was actually pretty good. The place was also packed, but we got in right before the rush.

Glad you were there to hold up the tower...now that you're gone it's probably not leaning anymore. Shucks!
