ITALIA pisa (it ain’t no thang)
we took the overnight ferry back to florence, and man was it a shitty night. we figured we would last seven hours sleeping on the floor of the ship, but soon realized how unprepard we were. there were already people set up with floaties (like the inflatable ones for the pool) all over the halls, so we had to set up camp on the upper deck. it was not too bad for me since i layed pretty comfortably on three staggered chairs. for jonah and alex who are a foot taller than me. . .not so much. but what made the night almost unbearable was the deck doors opening all night. i can not believe how much the italians smoke. people were going in and out ALL night so the doors kept bringing in huge gusts of cold air. i do not know how none of us did not catch a cold.
anyways, we survived and got back to florence/firenze in time for jonah to start his internship! pisa is really close so alex and i decided to make a day trip and invited jonah’s roommate matt. they only live together because the program stuck them together, and i really do not think they would ever talk otherwise. matt just talks forever about nothing and is really sensitive, and jonah is a hater. you can see why there might be the occasional tension. so it is really funny since they acknowledge these traits in themselves, but they can not stop. for example, on the train ride to pisa, matt started talking about mosquito bites. . .and then went off about some story about the simpsons episode where flanders gets locked up in an asylum. . .and then ended the story by saying how he likes to itch his bites. alex and i were like, “huh?” but it was still funny. we all agreed it would have pissed jonah off. haha.
pisa was fun. i mean, the town was much bigger than expected, and the tower was pretty cool. definitely worth checking out for the day. EVERYONE and their mom was doing the ‘holding up the tower’ shots, and of course we did one too. except ours was much cooler, since we we calmly drinking from a water bottle in ours. . .it is titled the ‘ it ain’t no thang’ photo. it should be up soon!
