Piazza dei Miracoli

Our final full day in Pisa, we chose to spend the morning looking around Pisa itself.  Off to the Piazza dei Miracoli we went.  Of course, what is the one thing that most tourists think of when the subject of visiting Pisa comes up?  The Torre of course!

Emily being Emily decided to take off and pose in front of the tower all by herself….yikes!!!  Can you see her????? 

We took a few pictures before heading off to buy tickets to climb the tower and do the other things in Miracle’s Square. 

Ever want to crop someone OUT of a picture?  LOL.  It was SO crowded there. 
And nothing like vacation pictures to make you go on a crash diet.  Eye roll…(I lost 4lbs during this week we were in Italy)

I had the wrong lens with me so Garret was unable to get all of us and all of the tower from where he was standing. 
After buying our tickets, we visited the Cathedral first. We weren’t able to  climb the tower until later. 
Isn’t this tiled ceiling beautiful?

Oh wow….Is this not  gorgeous?  These pictures don’t begin to do it justice!

As you can see there’s some serious eye candy in this cathedral….Loved taking pictures.  I wish that I had time to take a class so I can really learn my camera’s settings.



 










We didn’t visit the Baptistery.  We only bought tickets for 5 of the 6 things available to visit at the Piazza dei Miracoli:  The Tower, The Cathedral, Monumental Cemetary, and 2 museums.  Here’s a photo of the Batistery.



Next post will be the Monumental Cemetery.
