Back in Pisa

Im at an internet cafe at the campsite Im staying at in Pisa which is 800 meters from the leaning tower and about 3 km from the airport, so...perfectly situated. The drive today was one of the more stressful ones yet, as my GPS managed to take me TWICE through tiny villages on narrow country roads to points where I was instructed to navigate off-road. Somehow, I managed to make it to Pisa, though. I must say...I'm exhausted. This trip has been incredible. Its been fun, beautiful, inspirational, education, but, most of all, exhausting. I'm sooooo tired. I am looking forward to sleeping in a real bed for the first time in 2 weeks (the bed at the cooking school was about 2 feet wide and 5.5 feet long, so not exactly the right fit for me). Im looking forward, more than anything else, to driving my wonderful Japanese-made automobile on an American road where people follow traffic laws...mmmmm. Anyway, I'm going to make the most of my day here, though, and am just about ready to set out to tackle the leaning tower once and for alland get some lunch and tool around the city of Pisa. I'm pretty sick of sightseeing, but its the last day and Im going for it. Tomorrow I may not post because Ill be traveling back home, but Ill definiately be posting more the next day including all the photos from this past week.
