GRAHAM, Manager Wingham Branch Gorrie Branch LEANING TOWER Of PISA Wingham Advance -Times, Thursday, May 2, 1903 -- Page 2 Cutters find Cathederals Magnificent Go Site -Seeing in Venice by Gondola Hi Folks, After we left out hotel we drove along the Mediterranean to Pisa, a beautiful resort area, fine hotels and Sandy beaches. Every inch is built up with large and small cottages, cafes and restaurants and excellent double lane highway running along for miles. Spring shuhhery is in full bloom here and everyone was busy getting ready for the summer. We had expected to run into a lot wanner weather here, although it was quite comfortable (about 60 degrees) and warm enough to lie on the beach. As we approached Pisa we could see the Leaning Tower from quite a distance, In the middle of the town is the tower itself and it is really quite a sight. I understand that the tower is beginning to lean to a position now that will mean reinforcing the foundation. However whether this is true or not I don't know. It's good advertising anyway; you better go to see it before it fallsdown. We took to the country roads from Pisa to Florence. This part of the country is very poor and in general, conditions are bad. There doesn't seem to be any happy medium in living conditions except in the north- ern part towards Austria. Of course, this part used to belong to Austria at one time. Florence is a beautiful city, but very busy and cars by the thousands. Streets are narrow. Unfortunately, it rained all day, so we left first thing in the morning. We took the Autostrasse which looks like our 401, There are tolls on these highways. It costs about a thousand lire (60¢) from Flor- ence to Venice. It rained all day and poured as we arrived in Venice, Our hotel was just be- yond St. Marks square, We parked our car at the entrance of the city, since no cars are allowed, or could navigate in Venice itself. We had to put our suitcases on a water car and steamed through the canals to our hotel. It was miserable; water all around and pouring rain. We didn't think much of it, However our hotel was warm and comfortable. We did go out after supper to do a little window shopping. We went back to the hotel and to bed and wondered what we were going to do next day, if it kept on raining. The next day I wakened about seven and look- ed out and you just couldn't believe it was the same coun- try. The sky was blue and the sun shone. It was an unbelieve- able day. We had breakfast and went out to see the town. By 10 o'clock there were liter- ally thousands of people at St. Marks square. The architec- ture of the cathedrals and other buildings is magnificant in Italy, and Venice is not exception. We walked along the water front, through little narrow streets across bridges, with gondolas all over the place, We went through a factory where they were blowing glass and had halls of the most beau- tiful glass work you have ever seen. Gifts of all kinds are dis- played in the stores around, and there is no trouble to get rid of the lire. In the afternoon we hired a gondola and drove NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlBIIIIIIIIII1MiIN1111M1IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII flillIIIIIIIIIIPIIIIIBIIiillallllf IffllltllllilllllflllllllllllliIIIIlflhIlllllllIIIIIIIIIAIIIIIL •s' .•:3 .,yry:.

The founda- tions of all the buildings are directly in the water. How they built there in the first place is beyond tee. It is very picture- sque and the gondolier, as he stands and rows his boat through the little canals, makes you feel as if you are living in a story book, Each time he turns a corner with this boat, he hollers to let the other boats know he is coming, It took us about half an \tour and it was well worth it, After we packed our suitcases in the car we left for Balzano and the Brenner Pass, So long for now, Pete HOLIDAY IN FUN -FILLED ONTARIO r For your pleasure .
