Pisa Pisa Pisa!

Sorry I haven't blogged in the past few days. I got in late originally, and then didn't want to yesterday. On Wednesday, I caught an overnight train to Milan at 7:45 from Paris. It was supposed to arrive in Milan around 5:38. So, I woke up at 5:00 to make sure I was all set to get off the train when it stopped...but after 7:00 or so, when I had finally given up on worrying about why the train hadn't stopped, we were told that we had a 4-hour delay. So in the long run, instead of arriving in Pisa around noon, I arrived in Pisa around 6 in the evening. I took a cab to my hostel and played dead for the rest of the evening.

So then, yesterday, I went through town, aiming for the 14 bus in order to get to Media World to get some errands done. As I went, I took a road through town and took my time. I stopped for lunch at a restaurant on the street and got spaghetti!! (I'd been craving spaghetti, so it was a big deal.)

I then made it to the bus stop, where, when asking for help, I was told that there was a "bus stroke", so I continued to the tourist information office of Pisa, hoping for a better map so I could walk there instead. The lady there told me to take a different bus, the LAM Blue line. The "stroke" was a fib, because I saw a 14 bus going, but I made it to Media World either way, and ran all my errands! Other than finding another camera battery anyway. I did my best to though.

I was sure that it hadn't been that far of a ride on the bus, so I decided to try walking back, meandering through town. It was definitely an experience and a lot of fun. I made sure to find the Tower of Pisa for mom too, of course.

Other things I did yesterday included buying my first rock from Europe and buying a couple scarfs.

So far today, I've gone out and wandered. That's it for now. Ciao!
