The Beach

We finally ventured out to one of the more popular beaches in the city of Gaeta. Unfortunately during the month of August all of Italy is on vacation and also trying to get to the coast and spend time at the beaches as well. It was packed! There are many beaches here, some that you can swim in and some that are not safe to get into because the water is polluted. If you want to go to a nice beach that is clean then you usually have to pay for it. A few euro for chairs, a few euro for an umbrella and then enjoy! If you don't want to pay then they have much smaller areas where you can use your own beach chairs or blanket as long as you can find an open space. I didn't get as many pictures as I would have liked to but you can still get the gist of it.

Every Italian and their Italian mama going to the beach too

 The number of people there was unreal!

The water was really cold but the kids enjoyed it anyway

Back home down the teeny tiny streets

It was a good day....
