Beginnings

I'm in Pisa, having done the long haul to Europe now twice in 3 weeks. The Classics trip ended prematurely for me when Mum died, after her massive stroke the week I was due to leave. I left with her blessing and on her firm instructions, then returned to farewell her at a beautiful private service.

It meant that I missed the Sicily part and I'd like to thank Wendy for her understanding and Deb for stepping in for me.

So now the LSL adventure begins.

Pisa is a great place to start. Small, friendly, with beautiful streets to meander. I was almost at The Tower when I passed a street with a wonderful gate set into the Roman city wall. Immediate detour, and I found myself wandering along the outside of the city wall, looking at where the Roman part had been build over in later times. I did eventually get back to the Piazza dei Miracoli.

I enjoyed the Baptistery, particularly the geometric inside.
