“You don’t have to know a lot of things for your life to make a lasting difference in the world. But you do have to know the few great things that matter, perhaps just one, and then be willing to live for them and die for them.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa

So, one can’t really come to Italy, and not take the short day trip over to the ever so famous leaning tower of Pisa. Most people only spend time posing and holding up the tower for their pictures. But, being a solo traveler that becomes a bit difficult. Unless, I want to ask a stranger to commence in posing strategies with me or if I want to prop up a tripod. So, instead I decided that I would just let the tower keep falling as I probably wasn’t strong enough to hold it up anyway.

The Tower of Pisa is a free standing bell tower of the Cathedral in Pisa. Construction of the tower occurred in three stages across 177 years and clearly someone didn’t do something right.

Here are some photos from my short visit over to Pisa:
