Pisa

 ***Slowly, I’ll be catching up on blog posts. We’ve had a busy summer, including a 9-day trip to Sardinia, and 3 days after that trip, the kids and I flew to CA for 3 weeks. And since we’ve returned home, we’ve spent the last two weekends in Verona. Lots to share!!***

At the end of June, we took a 9-day trip to the Italian Island of Sardinia. Day one was a 4-hour drive west to Livorno, where the next morning, bright and early, we’d be boarding a ferry to take us to the island. We spent the night at an American Army Installation, Camp Darby, that is just a few minutes from the port. It is also just a few minutes from Pisa and it’s famous leaning tower. Steve and I had been to Pisa before, but not our kids or the younger kids in the R family, who we were traveling with. So we stopped off for the standard tourist pictures of us “pushing” the tower back in place. And some dinner too.

The R Family, our travelling buddies!
