My Local Town

While we are living in Italy i had decided that we must try and see everything that there is to see in this part of the country as it will probably be the last time we can ever have such an amazing chance to see so much. so our local town near here is Pisa, well you have to go and see the bell tower that is so goddam famous, the town itself is nice and old but the architecture is pretty boring so i had already decided to not bother with a long walk into the centre , mixing with all the American and Japanese tourist that throng this part of the world. The drive for me is even on local roads, not even a highway to get stressed on, we drove along the coastal road and it was very nice looking at the mountains behind the coastal strip and after an hour we could see the Dome of the Rectary and Bell tower, so we parked about half a mile away to avoid all the nasty parking stuff around the church and then walked in, the day was sunny and warm and it was nice to see it but for me the second time isnt nowhere near as good as seeing it the first time, i feel bad for not thinking things are great anymore, am i becoming a grizzled old fart, or am i spoiled with seeing the greatest things in the world, and comparing everything to them, i think that is the problem. we went home after wards and carried on with reading out pirate version of the Harry Potter Final book, its Ok but many repetetive phrases are used to my annoyance, Arching eyebrows are boring after reading it 20 times, later dudes and dedesses.

Here i am posing with the little tinker
