Making sure to get up early enough this time, we got up and drive to the local market. Mom was excited to see what the locals had to offer, and we all hoped it was something worth waking up earlier then usual for. It turned out to be quite small, but really cute. They had all set up little tents, displayed their stuff on the outside of them. On one end, there was a vegetable and fruit market and on the other side there was a clothing/accessories/house items. We looked around a bit and finally left with just one thing- A cute yellow dress for me! Thanks mom!
Our next stop was Pisa. Of course, we traveled there for one main reason. The leaning tower. When we entered, the streets were lined with venders selling souvenirs and cute accessories (i got a cute bag to match my dress of course). As we got closer and closer to the tower, we noticed at least 20 people standing on cement cylinders taking the famous "I'm holding up the leaning tower of Pisa so it wont fall" picture. We also saw other people getting creative and pretending to push the tower, hug the tower, and even carry the tower! After watching some people for a while, we tried our hand at our tourist picture. They turned out pretty good. (Look at the side of the page for the pictures)
After sitting in the shade of the tower and watching the tourists walk by, we headed back to our car; on the road again. Since it was so hot, we decided to hit the beach once again. We drove to our favorite beach and layed out our belongings on the burning hot sand. We immediately hopped in the ocean and were cooled down instantly by the refreshing water. As soon as we were cooled off, we noticed that the waves were legitimately bigger then last time we were there. Reece got out his boogie board and rode wave after wave into shore. As the waves got bigger, we had to keep moving our things farther and farther back from the shore line... our things almost got taken away to sea at least 3 times!
Sand in our hair and salt on our skin, we headed back home for another great dinner and nights rest.
We're all looking forward to going back to moms favorite place tomorrow; Cinque Terre.
