DON'T MISS THEIR DELICIOUS CINQUE E CINQUE!

by randychiara about Da Gagarin

ohhhhh
this is an all the time favourite for the local people!

They only make Cinque e Cinque, the chick peas pie
but it's sooooooo good

they also have this spuma bionda which tastes like guaranà, my fave brasilian drink! the owners are very rude ( in funny way) to each other and friendly with the customers, they yell at each other all the time
they are hilarious
i have so much fun when i go there
this is open from the morning till about 8pm

very close to the mountain too

Livorno is a perfect city to live in Italy.
It has a very good climate the whole year round, something like Los Angeles, it's on the beach but it's also very close to the mountains (2 hours drive) and very close to important cities like Pisa ( 20minutes by car or train), Florence (50 minutes by car or train), Siena (40 minutes by car), San Gimignano and so on
Most young people, like me, usually go snowboarding on these mountains, they usually get a lot of snow and there are even snowparks

Chiesa di San Jacopo in Acquaviva

by maykal

At the end of the Terrazza Mascagni, a piazza opens up, ending with the church of San Jacopo in Acquaviva. Not the most attractive church in the world, it's not particularly ugly either...but the church and the adjoining old houses do stand out a bit, surrounded by the modern buildings across the piazza.

On the sea side of the square, you can get a good view of those sunning themselves on the rocks in the private bathing complex. Just as we were walking past, we noticed two girls posing in their designer beachwear and a rogue wave fast approaching. We stopped to watch the carnage ensue, and snorted as they screamed and checked their makeup.

Our Fourth Port of Call - Livorno Italy

"A trip out to see the Leaning Tower of Pisa"

We had a half day trip on this one as we had been out all day the day before and would be out all day the next day. So a welcomed lie in was in order and a late breakfast before we descended on Pisa for the afternoon.

The foundations of the Leaning Tower of Pisa began to subside when the builders reached it's fourth storey, and each year it was said to lean a little more. A band around the tower prevented further lean, and the tower is now in the same condition as it was in 1810.

"The Baptistry"

Building was begun in 1153 and was not finished untill 1278, with Gothic additions in the 14th century, and it is built entirely of white marble.
