just cruisin baby

Man do i have alot to right!! AH this is going to take a couple of entries... Our trip this week began in Luca. Luca is basically the Pheonix of Italy... It is a quiet city surrounded by huge medieval walls that date back from the thirteenth century! The churches were cool and all, but my favorite part was renting bikes and riding on the walls. Lets just say i have been itching for a bike ride ever since i got here...and i got to scratch in Luca! There are ancient trees that line the walls and ruins on the sides, you really feel like you are in Narnia... other wordly...we got gelato and just cruised for about thirty minutes...on to Pisa

The best part about Pisa was the graveyard. There are outside hallway type of building...really hard to describe.. that house hundreds of bodies. The contrast between the white limestone of the building with the bright green grass was so...Britainia.. anways the baptistry has the best acoustics, and a man demonstrated for us..the leaning tower...is still leaning...dont worry..overall i didnt really like it, it is run now by touristy stands and African men chasing you down with fake prada purses...i dont even like prada...

i need to go paint my toenails for greece and i'll finish up later tonight :)
