This year I have many friends visiting Europe during a series of International Conventions being held in various countries in Europe. As a side tour many will be making a detour to Italy. Most will be visiting Rome and I know they will love a visit to this ancient city. Among the basic itinerary of the Trevi fountain, gelato and pizza they will be visiting the Roman Forum and the Coliseum. In this blog I have compiled a few of my favorite things to see and points that helped me put these iconic ruins into perspective.
August in Sperlonga, Italy
Oh, Italy in the Summertime, specifically Italy in August! Living in Italy presents quite the paradox. The beaches are beautiful and buzzing with activity. The lounge chairs on the beach are all lined up in perfect little rows. Each beach front establishment has their own colors of sun umbrellas and matching lounge chairs. They are playing music and mixing up Spritz (the favorite Aperitivo or mixed drink of Italy). The Italians are out in full regalia, suntans glowing, and families playing and lounging in the sun together.
