Pisa & Cinque Terre

Well another weekend another adventure, this time the whole family got to come! Tucker thoroughly enjoyed himself as we explored Pisa and Cinque Terre. The three of us drove down to Pisa and did the touristy thing, including many various posed pictures with the Leaning tower. After exhausting out the little puppy we headed to our hotel in nearby Tirrenia. The hotel had a pool and a beach side view which we took full advantage of!

In our exploring later while letting the little Roo recover we conveniently went to downtown Pisa in the middle of Luminaria di San Rainieri. The town of Pisa came together to celebrate the day their patron saint's ashes were laid to rest.  In the saints honor they lite 80,000 candles lighting all the buildings along the river and with gusto shot off an amazing fireworks show to kick off the night. This was by far my favorite part of the evening. With an entire show put together with music and lights! I recommend everyone to try and make it to this!




















Sunday we relaxed in our hotel room and enjoyed an actual breakfast, not one of those measly Italian espresso's and pastry, before heading up the coast to Cinque Terra. We decided on the little seaside town of Manarola. It was so beautiful and cozy that we will definitely be staying there for another long weekend in the future!!!
