Is it really leaning? Yes, it is.

So, since it was raining in Florence, we decided to take a little side-trip to Pisa to see if the tower really was leaning. And the answer is YES. No matter where you stand you can pose so that it looks like you're holding up the tower. The result: a bunch of people looking like idiots. Yeah, everyone is standing by themselves with their arms outstretched touching nothing. And it's not as if you can just hop in front of the camera and tower and take a quick pic. No, you have to move an inch forward, then a little back, then your top hand up, bottom hand down, etc. At this point you don't care if the tower falls on top of you; you just don't want to look like an ass anymore. Oh, and we had to sprint from one end of Pisa to the other to catch our train, which ended up being 45 minutes late anyway. Typical.
