Woke up and found flyers for a festival that had something to do with men whose wives have cheated on them. Pretty ridiculous stuff! I got up early to see our town's statue of St. Francis at sunrise. We caught a train to take us to Riomaggiore, the last town in the Cinque Terre, so we would be able to ride out of it and make it to Spezia, the next big city.
Want to know about bike troubles? Ask Christopher! He got three flats and broke his seat today!
We had our scariest stretch of riding ever today. It was nightfall and we were on a highway with no shoulder. I'm sometimes kind of a daredevil, or at least a little danger or risk can be exciting, but I never want to do that again.
We made it to Pisa somewhere around 9:30. It was SO BEAUTIFUL! just turned a corner and there was the leaning tower. We even found a really cheap hostel right next to it. only 45 euros for both of us. The hotel next door told us we weren't going to find a place for under 95. Liars! Anyway, always keep your eyes out for places called "pensions" when in Italy. They're half the price, clean, and usually conveniently located.
