Vinci; you know Leonardo da VINCI

Pisa still holds great wonders yet to be discovered by me.

A small church just sitting on the side of the Arno River in the middle of downtown Pisa is the place of beauty. The small church claims her fame from owning a thorn from Christ's crown of thorns, which is now sitting in some other museum.

We also found a beautiful garden hidden away behind brick walls and ancient aqueducts. 
Then we took a little drive to the city of Vinci to check out the birth place of the a genius. The museum was full of his inventions once only on paper now built by later scientists. 
From Leonardo's ideas and sketches we gathered ideas ranging from airplanes to tanks. 
Impressive
The city was filled with museums, diagrams, and Leonardo's houses. AWESOME!
