Piece a Pizza in Pisa


In Piza, our B&B was really cool. We got a family room, which was pretty much a twin bed and two single ones, separated by a half wall. We also got a sweet bathroom, which had something called a bidet in it, which is something I haven't seen it before. It looks like another toilet, but theres a tap on it that sprays so you can clean your butt.
Pisa is gorgeous! It isn't the biggest city in the scheme of things, but what is there is amazing. All of the houses are merely several hundred years old, and all of the stones in the street are worn down from the centuries of people walking on them.
There are tons of tents all over the place, all full of various products like scarves and sunglasses, all with men who are very eager to sell you their cheap wares. There are also men who wander the streets (all of them with coloured skin) who will stop you to attempt to sell you 9 Euro watches for like 150 Euros. One guy even stalked us for several streets until we got rid of him once and for all.
There are artists mixed in with the people selling you cheap products. Our personal find was someone who we now call 'The Fork Guy' who twists forks to make jewlery. He makes mostly bracelets which are made from either a fish fork, a dessert fork, or a spagetti fork. They are really quite pretty, but best of all- they are dishwasher safe!
In Italy,almost all of the vehicles are tiny. They have way more smart cars than at home. They are many more motorcycles than at home. There are also some ingenious inventions, such as a motorcycle with a roof on it, a vehicle half the size of smart car, and these adorable trucks that look like some little boys toy with only three wheels. All of them look like they are way too small to be on roads, and they probably have the power of a mower.
And of course, there is the pizza. The ones that we sampled were one that had halves of cherry tomatoes, and 0ne with several types of cheese :D To accompany it, we got salads which actually had odd things in them, such as tuna and artichoke hearts.
