Sunday in Formia

Formia, originally uploaded by pbartleby.

Formia was kinder to us than it was to Cicero.

We spent a beautiful Italian summer day at the beach. We swam in waters hemmed in by Gaeta on one side and mountains on the other. In a less leisurely moments, we read some Latin at Cicero's villa--now a nondescript condo--and some more at his tomb.

Probably the single nicest day we've spent in Italy... a perfect combination of study and fun.
