Summoning

I'm not sure what she was attempting, but I thought it looked like an amateur exorcism.

They grow up so fast. 

Flying buttresses

We were able to get close to the fort you could see at the top of the previous picture.

Old Gaeta

A nice shot on the way to tour the old part of Gaeta. Really a beautiful day.

Gaeta Regata

Loads of sailboats. Tried to take a picture, but a bunch of obnoxious american kids jumped in the frame.

sorry

Visitors!

  3/4ths of the Rosenblum clan showed up later this morning. Exhausted, they arrived. They were fed, shown around and settled in. Gluten free pasta, gelato and prosciutto were the highlights.

  Soccer, basketball and a little volleyball were played nearly everywhere. The beach was nice with high seas and very little sprinkles of rain.

  As a side note, it's also nearing a full moon. Get out tomorrow and look at it. 

Seriously.

  It's cool. 

    Shut up.

Market day and time travelling trunks!

Today was market day here where a bunch of pretty sophisticated large box trucks open up ans spill their wares across three streets. Everything from first and second hand clothes to electronics. Aiden, having forgotten his trunks yesterday in Sperlonga, found these beauties for €3. He says they don't chafe as much as the other longer ones. Time will tell, but for now this is how he is rolling.

p.s. 

We went back to the beach bar and they still had his old shorts.

I like to tie up loose ends in my boring story telling. I figure if you're going to take the time to read the words, the least I can do is come to a conclusion.

Sperlonga shots

Hanging at the beach and it seems like a big storm up north brought in some bigger swells and the cold water to match. We had a good teaching opportunity about reading the waves and rip currents, and using a line-of-sight marker on the beach to maintain your bearings. I think they got it. They were catching sone good ones closer in before it just got too cold and they opted to hunt for beach glass instead.
