This was our last Thanksgiving in Italy, and we wanted to get away and do something special. We decided to spend the four day weekend in Tuscany on the mainland. It's only an hour and 15 minute plane ride from Sicily. It's surreal to be eating breakfast at home in the morning and then standing in front of the Leaning Tower of Pisa in the afternoon.
So we stayed in a hotel in Pisa, and then rented a car to drive around Tuscany. It was breathtaking, and we lucked out with amazing weather. We climbed a famous bell tower in Siena, went to see Michelangelo's Statue of David in Florence, and climbed the Leaning Tower in Pisa. We also walked through an American Cemetery from World War II in Tuscany. A four day weekend doesn't sound like much, but we came back feeling like we were gone a week. So much to be thankful for!
