Gail and I took the train from Florence to Pisa. It was a rainy day, but the tower was leaning and the tourists were visiting.
When I returned in May with Ray, the weather was beautiful, and the lawn around the cathedral and tower were filled with tourists enjoying the warm, sunny weather. All were oblivious to the "Keep off the Grass" signs. We visited the cathedral, the Baptistery and a rip-off museum.
