The Carlson's: Pisa and Florence

Pisa and Florence

The next day our port was Livorno. Our first stop was Pisa. Pisa was Pisa...we saw the famous leaning tower then left. Not really anything else to see there. Then we caught the train to Florence. Florence was a beautiful and charming city. We pushed our luck on time however. We spent a little too much time walking around and ended up RUNNING back to the train station. We BARELY made our train by about 3 minutes. LUCKY...cause if we would have missed the train back to Livorno we would have missed our boat!

WELCOME TO OUR BLOG!

When it comes to being outside, Jason and I are there. We love taking a break from 'life' to enjoy the simpicity, peace and beauty nature offers. I especially love this quote that applies not only to the great outdoors but to our lives as well. Unfortunately I have no idea who said this:

"You cannot stay on the summit forever. You have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees, one descends, one sees no longer...but one has seen. There is an art in conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know."
