Pisa

Did a day trip to Pisa – we can report that the tower is still leaning but it seems to be something of a shrine for the mentally ill. Lots of people making strange gestures with their hands (see photo).



Mary’s wide-angled lens on her camera managed to straighten the tower completely, bless it! (see photo). Mary reports that the tower itself was underwhelming. David disagrees, viewing it as a small but perfectly formed piece of Romanesque architecture completely at home with its historical, spatial and cultural context. [But then, he is typing this…] BUT…Mary say the church was stunning and the whole setting of the field of miracles (grass) was pretty fine as well. Amzing, actual.
