Andy and I are in the town of Pisa, Italy today. Pisa is famous for The Leaning Tower of Pisa. The tower is famous because it does not stand straight up. When the tower was being built, the ground was soft and the tower started sinking into the ground. Instead of stopping construction, the architect kept building, even though he knew the tower would end up crooked.
The bell tower is located in the Field of Miracles. The Duomo, or baptistry, and the cathedral are also located there. Here is a picture of all three buildings in the Field of Miracles.
One of the things that visitors to the tower like to do is have their picture taken while pretending to hold up the tower. Andy and I decided that would be a good idea, so here are some pictures of us holding up the tower.
After taking a few pictures in the sun, Andy and I found some shade to cool off in.
Before walking back to the bus that brought us to Pisa, Andy needed some protection from the sun so he decided to wear my hat and glasses.
Tomorrow, Andy and I will be visiting Rome, Italy. There are many things to see in Rome so I will have several pictures to share. See you tomorrow! From, Ms. Adams and Andy
