Pisa and Florence: leany things and pretty stuff

Well here we are in Florence. We spent last night in Pisa, in a double wide. Seriously. Our hostel was a trailer park where they have a few permanent ones set up that they rent out among the people that live in the park. It was a crazy set up, but it was kinda cool. I felt all red neckish while in Italy. I never thought that could happen.
We spent about an hour in Pisa actually doing touristy things. That is really all you need; there is the tower (which really leans at a crazy angle) a cathedral (that you have to pay to go into, yeah, right) and a baptistry. Other than that, there is just a bunch of shops and Nigerian dudes selling 'Rolexs'.
An hour and a half later we were in Florence. This city is exactly what my American brain thinks that all of Italy should look like. It is a city surrounded by rolling hills and tall thin trees. The buildings are all the color of old stucco with clay tile roofs. This city is gorgeous, and probably didn't look much different five hundred years ago. The skyline is still dominated by the cathedral, the river is nasty, and restaurants are everywhere. In short, this city is absolutely gorgeous. When we see more tomorrow, we'll have much more to tell.
Ciao.
