Pisa and Florence

Pisa and Florence: 

July 12th- Day 12-City 7 and 8 
We woke up at 5 and were on the train by 6. By 10 we were in Pisa for some breakfast and lots of photos! Then back on the train at 12 for an hour ride to Florence. We got off the train and found a guy with a map and lots of information and a 10% coupon for a lunch place. We ate an early lunch and debated doing a city tour on a bus but then they were too long and hit more countryside and less main sights do we stuck to our favorite method of transportation , walking!  We saw the cathedral, the plaza with the fake David (we didn't have enough time to see the real one), and hiked up to this platform for a view of the entire city. Then we went back into town and found a giant market. Reyes is a much better barterer than I am! We stopped by a grocery store for dinner snacks on the train and once again we are at the train with plenty of time. Plenty of time! We enjoyed the three hour train ride home with life chats and trying to solve all of the worlds problems. We got back and got tricked into paying for two more nights of air conditioning :( but it was worth it.
