Picto Diary - 25, 26 June 2018 - Pisa, Lucca, Soccer

Above: Morocco vs. Spain. MISHMAOUL!!!! 2-2. Spain tie goal at 92:33. Disney Magic. McGill's Bar. Tyrrhenian Sea, near Elba.

Above: Bishop. Leaning Tower of Pisa. 26 June 2018.

Second visit. When here during the late '90's the tower was undergoing repairs. Then, it was buttressed by cable supports. The "fix" included 60 tons of earth being removed from underneath the tower on the side opposite the lean. Thereafter, the tower's lean decreased by six inches.

Above: Move over Moroni. John the Baptist atop the Pisa Baptistery. Pisa. 26 June 2018.

Font inside is for baptism by immersion, practiced by the Catholic Church up through the Middle Ages.

Notwithstanding a previous visit to the tower, this is the first time I visited the nearby Baptistry.

Inside, a "cantor' sang to demonstrate the Baptistry's reverberations.
