Got off the Ship around 0600 - Nicky met me at the pier (she got here on the 12th). We had planned to stay in Livorno for a day, but my Boss cancelled my leave - Nicky and I won't be able to stay together for the entire time she is in the country... Still, after some food, we hurried over to the train station and headed up to Pisa. It was a beautiful day and we had a chance to visit the Leaning Tower - it was everything I had always hoped it would be. We heard that Dad and Beth were in the city, so we took the train over to Firenze (Florence). When we checked at their hotel, they said that the group was out until 1900. We decided to see the sights of the city, including the 700 stair climb to the top of the Dom (Cathedral). We found Dad and Beth in the Piazza just after sunset. Beth ran screaming towards Nicky - they had no idea that we would see them. We had dinner with them and their group. I think Dad will come to meet us later in Rome. Went back to our hotel in Livorno very late...
