We had breakfast in the hotel where we all made some sandwiches out of bread, ham and cheese for the road. On our way to Pisa, we stopped at a walled city, Monteriggione. You could really imagine what life would have been like living rustically inside the castle walls long ago. The only bad part was the rain.
By the time we reached Pisa, the sun was breaking through and the rain had stopped. We found parking very close to the entrance gates and we began our tour of the Duomo, the leaning tower (campanile)tour, and Baptisry. We also perused the street vendors on our way out and Patti got scolded by one very mean lady because she had a an gelato in one handhad and was looking at t-shirts. One of them got an F.
Back to the van for our very long ride back home to Mougins. We got so close with no problem but prolem and then we made a wrong right turn off a round about. Let me say this turn let us tour every inch of the area surrounding Mougins without ever entering either the new or old city. After about 20 minutes we were laughing so hard we were crying. Patti spotted the steeple atop the old church in the old town and we headed for that and finally found our condo. Got another F! Dinner that night was fluffy omelets and left over soup and bread. No game tonight as everyone was too tired.
