Marseille, France

Marseille was a very pretty old French port town! I took the little tourist train to the top of the mountain over looking the harbor. The famous church "La Basilique Notre Dame de la Garge" sat at the top. The views were amazing! Later I had French cuisine with the girls, and shopped around the Sunday market!













PISA!!!

Finally got to visit the Leaning Tower of Pisa! The drive there was beautiful as we drove through the Tuscany region where we traveled windy roads lined with trees, and passed over beautiful rivers. Pisa was really cool! Irene and I were on the same tour again so we got so many great pictures posing all sorts of ways in front of the tower. We also got to see the inside of the Cathedral Duomo, which was beautiful! Pisa was really fun, and I enjoyed souvenir shopping and walking around, although very tired from the night before. When we were leaving it started to rain, thank goodness for the timing! The drive back to Livorno was really pretty as we got to see the Tuscan countryside, with many olive trees and farms. I spent the afternoon on the ship napping, and starting to pack my stuff. I think I have bought too much!
