Round-the-World Holiday, June 23 - July 28, 2003

Me and Tuscany - click to enlargeMe and Tuscany.

Florence - click to enlargeLooking back towards Florence.

Snookums and Bacchus - click to enlargeHere's Snookums imitating the statue of Bacchus in the Gardens. Apparently the figure was modelled on Cosimo Medici's dwarf, Pietro Barbino. (Just some random trivia I learned on the Internet.)

Pisa - click to enlargeWhile we were in Florence we took off for a quick day trip to Pisa. Here's a view of the Piazza dei Miracoli, with the baptistry (the building cut off on the left), the Duomo, and the companile (you know, the one leaning). :)

Snook supporting the leaning tower - click to enlargeBe careful Snookums! Don't let it fall over! (In my defense, this was his idea and everybody else was doing it too.)

The tower - click to enlargeIf you get the angle right, voila! No more lean!

Up the tower - click to enlargeEvery time I saw anything tall I took a picture like this. I don't know why. I just have the impulse to crane my head back, I guess.

Duomo - click to enlargeI confess that I took this photo simply because I thought I could use the little marble decoration between the arches as a quilt pattern. Too bad you can't even see it here!
