I'm so childish. I want to caption things with lines like - Pisa, a piece of piss. Moving swiftly on - I arrived late afternoon and after unpacking, I walked into town across the railway lines (don't worry, there's a subway!). The place I'm staying is really nice, only two years old so it doesn't show on google street view, but at first sight the area looks a little rough. There's a scrap yard or something almost next door and a wall full of the messy kind of graffiti. But it was really quiet last night, and the walk into town is so easy, it's awesome.

Anyhow. Picspam time! Artyfarty and random shots with bicycles follow, so be warned.

Approaching the old town - that's the dome of the bapistry you can see in the background.

Classic view of the Piazza dei Miracoli and the leaning tower

Random rhino from one of the Duomo's doors

My favourite sculptor - Igor Mitoraj - Fallen Angel. Isn't it fabulous? I admit, I was so excited seeing this. *bounces*

Igor Mitoraj, Fallen Angel - Pisa, Piazza dei Miracoli

So awesome

First ice cream of the holiday!

Selfie in the church of S. Caterina of Alexandria. Apparently God is not Dead - the sign says so.

S. Catherine of Alexandria, Pisa - selfie time

If anyone is wildly interested, there are a bunch more pics here on Flickr.
Now I'm off to catch a train to Lucca!

Both the rhino and the fallen angel are awesome. A couple of the shots on flickr are pretty neat too. The red umbrella and the little dog plus the red balloon graffiti. Have a great time. 8-)
