It was in 1976 and I was a pretty young guy on a 6 month Europe adventure. It was pretty worn and tired at that time. It's a good thing I did the trip then, for I don't think I could afford it now.michael ultrahttp://www.rv0777.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-77632626607546427732012-02-27T11:29:50.004-06:002012-02-27T11:29:50.004-06:00I noticed that the older I get the more I lean, to...I noticed that the older I get the more I lean, too.Dizzy-Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150939928800538404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-7045582209999141182012-02-27T08:52:54.194-06:002012-02-27T08:52:54.194-06:00I can't but help wonder when it will fall down...I can't but help wonder when it will fall down -although they claim to have added 300 years to it. <br /><br />I grew up watching the efforts to preserve the natural granite face in NH called The Old Man of the Mountain. Of course, it fell a few years back. I still miss it when driving by.Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-53487571530693935952012-02-27T08:17:46.050-06:002012-02-27T08:17:46.050-06:00Great History lesson.

At that time, I had only read about the Leaning Tower of Pisa through history books from school. I was amazed that it could still be standing after nearly 600 years leaning such as it was. Shortly after my visit, restoration began. Hope they didn't blame future leaning on the old Billy Bob.Billy Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10549232524429115454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-5821336706754515102012-02-27T06:47:09.422-06:002012-02-27T06:47:09.422-06:00Great story. i love cold Pisa for breakfast, oops ...Great story. i love cold Pisa for breakfast, oops I mean pizza. haha Have a good day sir.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16800149852939042454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-88727904147329489762012-02-27T01:49:18.256-06:002012-02-27T01:49:18.256-06:00Great history lesson Mr.Hermit, had forgotten how ...Great history lesson Mr.Hermit, had forgotten how long ago it was that it was built and has stood.MsBelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09035993834877022676noreply@blogger.com
