Ciao!
I fear that the rest of the pictures that I post for the remainder of the summer are going to be of one thing--the beach...because that is where I will be every weekend! I have always been a beach bum, reformed in recent years when I have spent more time on city concrete than on sand. But, now I can have the best of both worlds--work in a city during the week and head out to the oceanside for the weekend. Perfetto.
This Saturday, we ventured down to Sperlonga, a beach that is about an hour south of Rome. It was shockingly empty on the beach (well not the bus ride to get there) and so calm and relaxing. We swam in the ocean-yes, it was a bit cold--but after daring to fully commit to complete submergence, the water was incredibly pleasant and even CLEAR! I loved it!
On Sunday, I decided to counter my calming beach day with a trip to Ikea, which involved heading deep into the Roman suburbs, which (not?) shockingly look like every other suburb that I have encountered. And the mall where Ikea was, could have been South Coast Plaza. It was quite the adventure, but now my apartment is very organized with all of the Ikea supplies I bought. Totally worth the trek.

Another beautiful Italian spot! A beach with character! Looks like it could get very busy at some time...lots of zipped up umbrellas!
