Another busy day in Iyaly! We went first to the "L. Cambini" primary school.

We have been in this school the last year, so many kids remembered the torch.

...and some take more. We will be back soon!

A short visit to the "A. Biagi" primary school. Thanks for the welcome!

...the National Anthem...

...an autographs ended the meeting...

Thanks for the fun!

Here it is: the most famous construction scandal in Italy...

Our team was invited to the City Council, which was is full session today...

Our friend Maria Chiofalo, the city school representative, held the Peace torch together with the President of the City Council, Mr. Ranieri Del Torto...

The deputy mayor of Pisa, Mr. Paolo Ghezzi, kindly received the torch...

After the city council we had to get our Van fixed. Thanks for the great help!

Finally we visited once more the St. Clair Order in Pisa.

The nuns were extremely kind to us. We deeply enjoyed the peaceful athmosphere in the middle of the city...

...some students, who are stying in the monastery, joined in as well...

The nuns showed us their church and lit a candle with the flaming torch....

Soe of the nuns were from India. We spent a good time chatting...

The St. Clair Order in many hundreds of years old and they are celebrating this year their 100th year in this location. Thank you for the nice book!
