Pizza in Pisa

I have been in Pisa for nearly a week, and I am enjoying Italy a lot! My first night here, I indulged on a pizza ai fungi (with mushrooms) and some house red wine. You cannot believe how tasty the cheap wine is here. I will be very sad at the quality of US-available vino when I return. All the food is fresh - nothing has preservatives, from the pistachio gelato to the espressos to the pasta, it's all great.
I have made it through one week of class. While it's only four hours a day, I need consistent espressos and cappuccinos to keep me going (don't worry, their coffees are tiny compared to American coffees and they're much stronger). One more week of classes and then come exams. It's so hard to stay alert in class when Italy is literally right outside the window.
Since coming here, I have visited two sites: Lucca and Livorno. Lucca was a nice little town full of a lot of little sites and miles of walking. Livorno was a nice town, but we were told there would be a beach there. Instead, there was a patch of harsh rocks and unswimmable waters - nevertheless we stepped into the Mediterranean Sea and took pictures :)
I have yet to take my touristy leaning tower picture that everyone takes here (every single tourist who visits takes one where they push the tower or try to hold it up or some other variation). But it's nice that my hotel room has a view of the tower from right outside my window.
Tomorrow, my friends and I are visiting Cinque Terra (the place of five lands) for some hiking and beach relaxing. Salute!
