I just walked by this bridge this morning! Yeah! So Jessie and I decided that our trip to Milan was a way for the traveling gods to make us appreciate the greatness of our past and future destinations. We are in much better spirits as you may be able to tell. We left Milan, toured the lovely town of Pisa and saw the Leaning Tower, then hopped on the train again to Florence, arriving last night. We got a recommendation for a great campsite here and so we cr...

Oh how I wish we were in this picture right now! But we're not, and we never were, seeing as how Milan is a trash heap and we are sitting on top.

Let me just say to anyone that knows Jessie, she is NOT a happy camper and I jokingly figure she blames me for ...

Hmm what to say about Granada. We had a little flub up because we forgot which day of the week it was and didn´t realize that the Alhambra, the castle to see in Granada, was only open certain days of the week. So we failed to get tickets to see the fabulous gardens or interiors of the palace, but we still managed to sneak a peak of the outside and wander through the main castle.
