Today I ventured out of Florence to Pisa, where I will fly out of tomorrow very early. And it was great! The sun was shining and I just checked in to my hotel where for the first time this trip I will be alone in my own room! What freedom. After dropping my bags I headed to basically the only attraction in Pisa...the leaning tower! It was beautiful. IT is in a plazza area surrounded by a church and other majestic marble buildings. And it really does lean. It looks quite hilarious and ridiculous I think to see this beautiful building slightly out of wack. After taking a few pics, I just sat in the grassy area and enjoyed the sun adn the smell of grass and a chance to relax on my own. It's been a great trip. The warm temps and sun remind me of home (since grass and tromso have no connection) so I'm starting to think about my next trip which will be back to the US. I just wrote in my journal and watched the silly tourists and the equally funny street vendors. A great day in Italy. I capped off the night at a pizzeria eating outside with a few of the leaning tower. While I was sitting eating, an older Italian man walked around playing guitar and singing opera music. It felt exactly like lady and the tramp! What a great night. Off to pack and head to Bergen. I'll be back to tromso (and my computer) late Sunday night!

I had no idea you were in Italy. I'm going to be singing in the Schlern Music Festival 6/27-7/18. I'll be performing during the week but we get to take a day trip almost every weekend. You will have to keep tabs on all of the good places to eat and drink for me. We will always have the Lantern.
