I'm sick, I'm sleep deprived, and I have a huge zit on my chin, but guess what? Today was hands-down the best day I've had on this journey so far. If I had to summarize the entire day into one phrase: pure bliss. So here it is. I had to wake up early to get ready before meeting at the bus stop across town, but we managed to leave a few minutes earlier than usual, allotting us a enough time to grab a quick coffee and muffin at McDonalds before we filed onto the bus and assumed our sleeping positions for the hour and a half bus ride to Pisa. You can probably guess what happened when we got there… yup. SO. MANY. PICTURES. We even decided to skip out on an optional tour of the Cathedral solely so that we could take more leaning tower pictures. We were determined to get the perfect one, and trust me - we left with plenty of options. Then we left Pisa, because let's be honest, there's literally nothing else to see in Pisa besides the Leaning Tower. Then we took a short bus ride to the neighboring town of Lucca. I didn't really know what to expect, all I knew was that Lucca was supposedly really pretty. The 10-ish kids in my Italian class broke off from the rest of the group because we were supposed to meet our teacher (the odd one) for lunch because he lives in Lucca. Well he ended up not showing up (why am I not surprised) and Lauren and I just ventured off on our own and found a cute little lunch place where we were serenaded by a strange and kind of creepy old man.
