Livorno, Italy



And now for Italy. It's like going home... sort of

Livorno the seaport for Pisa and Florence. This was as far as we got. The train station was not immediately evident so we stayed here. What we found was a wonderful look into the culture of these people.

First, a "flea market". Could not believe the button vendor. I wanted to buy buttons and build something around them... just did not happen.



Later we found great dresses... not nearly as expensive as those in the US. Know where I would suggest shopping the next time someone needs one!!

Lunch at a sidewalk cafe then back to the ship late in the afternoon and on to the next place. I may not know what the leaning tower of Pisa looks like; but I also did not have to fight all the tourists!!
