Anghiari
We went to a small town in the hills in Tuscany. It was called Anghiari. There was a lady there making hand-made lace. She was using pins to mark her spot and pin it down. It took her a long time to make the lace. It was very expensive because it took so long and it was hand-made.
The walls around it were in the shape of a boat. There was stone on the walkways. There was also a well that went down really far to the ground.

It was really beautiful looking down from the town.

We went to the town that has the leaning tower of Pisa. It is leaning because of the poor architecture and the land it was built on.
Hi Cate, So that's why the tower leans, poor architecture. It was built, what, 500 years ago?
ReplyDeleteIrene and I are watching your house. So far no problems.
We love your pictures and descriptions.

Hi Dr. Pierce, Yes the Leaning Tower was built over 500 years ago and took almost 200 years to build- and it still leans! Thank you so much for watching our house and for looking at my pictures and commenting on them :). Cate
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that tower hasn't fallen down! It was leaning like that when I was over there in the seventh grade!

Yes it is still leaning! Everybody there likes to take pictures in front of it. We took lots of them also.
