Crooked Town
15 euros to climg the bastard thing, would you believe it. Gorgeous view, but you sure don't get to stay up for long. I wonder how many pisani/pisane look at it the way I look at the Tower of London--neat for sucker tourists but hardly worth the full cost.
Only 13 days to go, from the looks of it, though the Siena-Rome leg is still a bit vague. Lots of campsites are closed now, plus it's been pretty miserable weather for the last 4 or 5 days, raining a bit every day. So I've stayed in hostels more than before. Just need to figure out where they are for the last couple hundred miles.
With any luck, I'll be back in London just in time for Hallowe'en parties. No idea what I might be, unless the Santa outfits are near the front of my storage locker. Though I'm a bit thin for Santa, so maybe I should follow Luciano's suggestion and walk back. Having lost a bit of weight, I could retrace my steps to find it.

Online content key in Behl's discovery
The Mathews High School class of 2000 voted Erin Crabill "Most Unique." Now she's at the periphery of the mystery surrounding the death of Virginia Commonwealth University student Taylor Behl, whose body was ...
Hi there just thought I’d drop in and say hello, and also have a little read of your blog....it's better than mine...lol
my Adware related site might be of interest to you.if not now then maybe Adware is something for the future
Is this the cryptic clues blog?Let's see if we have our geography of Italy straight this time... Are you referring to San Gimignano? What about Pisa? Did you leave the tower leaning? Lost weight? Clearly the ice cream is not doing its job. xo M & D
Okay, we're awake now. You're in Pisa now, right? You have slowed down so much since you hit Italy that we are out of synch with your itinerary. That's not a bad thing. It seemed as if you were running, not walking, through France.
Hey bro, you need to turn on the thing in your blogger settings that makes anonymous posters validate that they're human beings. That first comment is ridiculous spam. And maybe it will make mum & dad wake up before commenting.

Poor anonymous. He is always trying to sell something and no one likes him.
Keep walking!
christina i will show you some spam.
I don't know why any of you goonies would even talk about travels in the geography. I think you're all nutz. The best and safest thing to do is to stay where you are and not worry about stuff. If you need something to do, you can play softball or pat cats and such. Then you don't have to worry about pickpockets and other terrorists. In the end, you'll thank me (once you realize what you've done).
Hi. I just found your blog on "blogs of note." I really like it! I used to love travelling. Now I'm stuck at home with my kids who keep me up all night. I think I'll come back and read more of your blog in the future. Europe is such a neat place. Have fun with your travels.
I'm enjoying your blog lots...will check back regularly for new posts. Are you a violin person? player? maker?
Anyway I'm glad I had a quick look at blogs of note before going to bed.
Hope the travelling goes on well.
This is a really cool site. Good luck and congratulations on your walking! Plus you made Blogger's front page!
15 euros to climb the tower??? I've been by Pisa only a couple times since moving here and have never had the desire to trek it up there.
I tell you who's crooked. That old lady that runs the public bathroom nearby.
yes, i am violin person, in that i just finished a degree in making them in london, though of course i've loads to learn still.
i'd love to turn on the anti-comment-spam thing, but the blogge page always comes up in italian when i log in and i haven't had time to decipher the bit i need yet.
and the bathroom lady in pisa isn't nearly as crooked as the fellow who runs the one next to the basilico san domenico in siena.
Hi Arthur
What a cool idea to walk from London to Rome.
I had wanted to go from London to Rome
though in the more environment unfriendly-way.
Even booked my tickets. But couldn't go because
of visa problems.
Hope to go there some time soon.
All the best to you. I will keep track of your journal. And yeah I agree with
about the Tower of London!
