A few photos before I erase them from my phone...

Friend took this photo at Sperlonga and sent to Daniel...that's me in the distance taking a walk -- such a September school day treat.  Daniel responded to friend, "Now I'm thinking perhaps we should have come on the school trip."

Sleeping quarters for one night: a yurt in Rosignano Marittimo, Toscania

Con and Hannah imagining another yurt on site?

Connor at the terme -- hot hot! (10 minutes away...recently filled a water bottle here and used the natural spring water to heal my stye...it worked!...or was it the eye drops from the Farmacia...or the chamomile eye drops from a colleague?...we'll never know, but thank goodness my eye is opening more easily again...)
