Italian pics (4th installment)

Here are a few pics of our time in Piza. We really didn't stay there long, but long enough to see the tower and go into the church. Samuel had his heart set on going up the tower, but he had to be at least 8 years old. He laid down on the grass outside the tower and cried for a minute. We all went into the church instead. He told me that we have to go back when he is 8!

Look ma... it leans! It was really funny to see this after all that I have heard of it. Funny that they kept building it even when it started leaning after the 3 floor was built.

I didn't realize that the tower was a bell tower for the church. They now have to pump air under it to stabilize it. It is expensive to go up it, but the line was long, so many people do.



The doors of the church. The carvings were very cool and amazingly done.
