Where
in the world
is Miss Baillie?

|
The next country Miss Baillie will
be going to is Italy. She will go through Pisa, and Florence (where
some of the most famous art works in the world are kept), and then on
to Rome and the Vatican.
|
Pisa is an interesting place to
see, because it has an amazing tower that leans over.
Engineers have worked for many years to keep it from falling
over, and it hasn't fallen over yet!
Tourists from all over the world
come to look at it. You used to be able to climb to the top,
but it is no longer safe, and you have to just look from the
ground.
|
Florence, or Firenze, is a
wonderful old city set in the hills. You can spend hours and
hours looking at the wonderful paintings and statues in the
art galleries.

Rome is a wonderful place to
explore, because it is a city that has existed in the same
spot for over two thousand years.
Within Rome is a separate city
called the Vatican, which is where the Pope of the Roman
Catholic Church lives.
The Vatican has many wonderful
museums, and the famous Sistine Chapel, where Michaelangelo
painted the ceiling with wonderful pictures.
