After an adventurous night in Florence last night, we woke up early to head west, to Pisa. When we arrived, we started a tour of the old city. We saw Pisa's most popular monument the 'Leaning Tower' andthe Church of Santa Maria della Spina. When we finished the tour we were given some free time to tour more of the city and to do some shopping. Naturally, Kristi was excited as ever to get time to shop and walked around like a kid in a candy shop. Many players also took a very original picture holding up the 'Leaning Tower'



We then left Pisa and had a four and a half hour drive back east to San Marino. The drive was full of beautiful scenery and time for many players to take a much needed nap. After arriving in San Marino, we had our second practice of the trip. It felt really good to get back onto the pitch and practice went very well. When practice was over we headed to the hotel. On the drive our tour guide talked to us about San Marino. San Marino is absoluetly beautiful and as many players learned it is a seperate country in itself. After a long day we had a nice dinner and made our way to bed. All the players are very excited for tomorrow, as we get to make our own pizza for lunch, then to the beach for the afternoon, and then another training session.
