Beach Bums

Question: how to spend a beautiful, sunny, hot Saturday in Rome?

Answer: Go to the beach!

So, Lyndsey, Lyndsey's friend Julie, Trevor, Mary, Dan, and I hop on a train that headed for the coast, and spent a few hours on the beautiful sandy beach (spaggia) of the Tyrrhenian Sea.

By the way, if you didn't know, the sea is FREEZING here. As Trevor explained it to me: The Mediterranean countries have beautiful weather because the sea is warm in the winter, and warms the land, and cool in the summer, to cool the land. It was like jumping in Mirror Lake all over again, except it was sunny outside.

Feet in the sand :)

There aren't rolling waves here like in California, it seems more like a giant, very salty, lake with a beach shore.





We can never resist an O-H-I-O

There were some interesting fashions on the shore, and some people not wearing fashion...or anything for that matter.

Julie guarding our sheets. About every 10-20 minutes guys selling sunglasses, jewelry, towels, etc. would come by our tanning session and bug us in a variety of languages.
