Hey everyone, we just wanted to post before we left for the Amalfi Coast. Perugia was wonderful even though we didn't get to spend enough time here! Assissi was unbelievable and Perugia was really cool with 360 views of all of the surrounding towns.
The duomo in Florence was massive and really cool to look at from the outside. Inside it was actually quite bare but has an unbelievably massive dome and was so impressive in its day, and it still is, Florence passed regulations saying no building could be built higher than it.
A copy of the famous David statue by Michaelangelo in the Piazza Della Signora.
The baptistry in Pisa had an amazing sound effect in the inside. It had two levels and when a note was played or someone sang a note it had this crazy reverberating effect that was beautiful to hear!
The cathedral at pisa was quite cool with views of the Leaning Tower and a museum in the background.
PUSH!!!
Oh AJ!
Tons of people were posing on the lawn for pictures. We had quite a long photoshoot that including asking a couple of other tourists for help!
Every summer in Siena the town fills this square and they have a horserace. We missed the horserace by one day, but after seeing pictures of it, we realized how crazy of a day it would have been. It looked as if every person in Siena came to cheer on their favorite horse!
A very hot day in Siena led us to a large cathedral that housed an actual head of a martyr, Saint Catherine. It was very creepy to stare at a 700 year old head that had shrunk over time.
San Frencesco in Assisi, beautifully placed on top of a hill and full of very famous frescoes.
Random street in Assisi, every inch of the town was picturesque.

As I said a couple days ago, I knew you would get creative with the Leaning Tower! Who could resist. How long did it take you to get your placement right to click those pics?? Did you drive the photographer crazy? They are very cool. Assisi looks quite pretty. Thanks for the new pics. Is all this traveling and walking wearing you out yet? Love, Mom
