our next stop was real quick, also. we decide to hit up Pisa on the way to Cinque Terre and see what this leaning tower business was all about. we took the train straight from Florence, made our way to the campground and immediately could tell that...

we kept discussing while in town where all of the Pisa tourist money must go, because while the little plaza that the leaning tower is in is meticulously well kept, the rest of the city is, to be honest, a complete dump. on our short walk to the plaza, we passed several piles of trash that (no exaggeration) had used hypodermic needles in them. i'm not one who generally cares about the cleanliness of a city, but wow.

| these gates admit you not only to the wonder of a large leaning tower, but also the relative safety of a plaza free of heroine use. From Italy: Pisa |
if you don't know anything about the Pisans, time to use some wiki. they were complete badasses that dominated sardinia, corsica, and a ton of the italian mainland, then conquered random cities in africa and the middle east just for the hell of it. then it all completely collapsed like their poorly designed tower.
