A quick, six minute post to let you all know what's up.

Yesterday I went to Pisa and saw the Leaning Tower. I was surprised at just how much the tower leans. It's off by over four meters. And it's odd, because the actual tower itself is straight, it's just the foundation that has shifted. Really odd.

I was going to go see Michaelangelo's David in the Accadamdia museum today, but I've not got enough time before the museum closes. There's a line up of over two hours just to get in. Instead I'll just wander around Florence some more - it helps me get to know the city, and it's free!

Today I went to mass in a magnificent cathedral called the Duomo. Interesting it was - obviously seeped in tradition. I have a few other opinions on it, but I don't have time to write them all (my internet time is almost out). I wish I could have understood what the priest was saying, it would have helped me judge it more accurately.

Anywho, I will update again in Rome!
