The leaning tower of Pisa... really leans!
You can see how curvy and precarious the steps were!
Can you see us?
Poor Paige!
Ponte Vecchio- Find us!!Today, we took the train and arrived Pisa and walked to see the Leaning Tower. We were lucky to be able to reserve a time slot to go up the tower. Right at the beginning, somehow Paige lost her balance because the Tower was pretty crooked and the steps also and she fell out a doorway ( a few feet from the ground). We all went back out to see if she was ok (and there was quite a little crowd out there also!). She was fine and some of us went ahead and went up the tower. Later that day, Paige felt her shoulder was bothering her. We brought her to a clinic (error stated in vlog says hospital- it was a little clinic). They checked on her and said it was just a little sprain. (Paige: Hi- it kind of hurt a little but I'm fine now). When we got back, we went to Ponte Vecchio bridge. We looked around a little and it was interesting. Then we went to see the Medici family's home. We just saw the outside but it was a really big castle. We wanted to see the gardens but found out it was closed. It only opens during June, July and August. We ate dinner and shopped a little bit. That's it!
Side note: We just learned that Paige's little fall actually made it to the local news in Pisa and found the link (it's in Italian but use google translate)- click here.
