PISA PISA PISA

Ok well I really wanted to get over this Jet Lag problem so Saturday night I took a Unisome, I went to bed at 10pm and managed to sleep until 12am the next morning. Which was not the plan but at least I was able to catch up on my sleep. Sunday ended up being a relaxed day I wrote in my journal, went swimming and had an Italian meal at a cute little restaurant. Although it was another miss with the Ravioli butter and sage pasta! But I did have my first real Tiramisu, which was deliciouso! On Monday we went to Pisa, and I went on my first train ride!! Riding through the Tuscan hills was beautiful! We got to Pisa and walked the "Tourist" route to get to the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and of course got side tracked by all the shopping. There were some gorgeous rustic buildings we walked by but I didn't get to take as many pictures as I wanted because I forgot to check my batteries before we left. Once we got to the Leaning Tower of Pisa we saw everyone taking pictures as if they were holding up the building, and we thought we were original when we decided to do it!!! It's really surreal to think back to middle school when I was reading out of a text book about the Leaning Tower of Pisa and thinking how much I wanted to see it and I never thought I would. I feel like it's an accomplishment that one of my smaller wishes had come true! I also had my first vanilla crepe which was delicious but a little too sweet for morning breakfast; they fill them with Natella sauce which is a chocolate spread. This was my first full day of walking and I was exhausted by the time we got back and I wanted to do nothing but sleep. But we went to another cute little Italian restaurant where they did have Fettuccine Alfredo!!! Which I was told they didn't have hear, my first satisfied meal with some roasted potatoes!! YUMM! Then on Tuesday I wanted to find my school so I could pick up my cell phone. But my first task of the day was to eat, and unfortunately my account got frozen and since there’s a 7 hours time difference I starved until about 4 pm my time!!! But in the mean time I was trying to find Lorenzo de Medici and I got directions from the front desk and I walked all the way down there and realized these were the wrong directions. So I walked back to my hostel to look for better directions myself and realized I was only about 2 streets off. I walked back down and found the street expecting signs to say Lorenzo de Medici, and there wasn't so I circled the same area like 5 times before I decided I should ask someone. I went to this gelato shop called Lorenzo de Medici and the nice lady literally walked me next door, go figure!! But they were closed for lunch and it was actually not the building I was told to go to. So I went back to the door that I thought was Lorenzo and it has these big beautiful wooden carved doors and I was thinking there’s no way this is the school plus the doors wouldn't open. So I finally went back to the original place and the door was open and I finally received my packed so I know have my cell phone which is a huge relief! This only about a 2 hour process! And I found out that the school is actually closed until Thursday so I was in the right place just at the wrong time. But luckily the package center was open. After this I could finally eat and I needed a rest!! But tomorrow I get to move into my apartment which I am really happy about because I am ready to get out of this hostel! Ciao!
