The Leaning Tower of Pisa!
I intentionally planned my flight to Barcelona late in the day because I wanted to spend some time in Pisa. I liked Pisa a lot. It was a small University town that was full of life and culture. The only relevant site to visit in Pisa is its cathedral, tower, and the baptistery. Nothing else.
The leaning tower was pretty incredible. I like the way that it tries to correct itself as it proceeds to be built. The tacit knowledge of the carpenter is at play here, and I find that interesting. The tourists were ridiculous and looked idiotic trying to capture their perfect pose holding up the tower. But everyone has to look ridiculous for a minute, because that is the iconic image of being there. I suppose I looked like an idiot performing my stunt in front of the tower.
In the photo above, the leaning tower threw off my equilibrium, not really. Credit to Matt for the good timing on the photo. Also, I ate a piece of pizza in pisa and have my photo in front of the leaning tower of pisa eating a piece of pizza. The pizza in pisa was surprisingly not good.
