Pisa

Neighbourhood Flowers


Did you know that the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Pisa, Italy is no longer in danger of tipping over? It was fixed to its original tilt 300 years ago.  The restoration started in the year 2000 and took 2 years, requiring 100 tonnes of earth under the foundation. I hope to visit there someday although it is very crowded.

Do you have a dream destination?

Would you believe it is on our travel list? Art wants to climb it. I'll take photos.

I went to Pisa in 2000, part work and part tourism. I went to the Tower but they had wires all around it for the work they were doing and you could not go inside. I took many photos though, and still plan to make a post on it someday. It is a beautiful tower and is around other white monuments nearby, a church too, where I photographed a beautiful bride.
