The first day we went to the beach at Gaeta, it was a little cloudy and lonely but beautiful. Cold water and a brisk breeze drove us home to homemade minestrone and warm bread. The next day dawned bright and clear, and the Italians were out in force. Crystal waters were filled with natives and tourists alike. We played four-person volleyball, that mostly consisted of smacking a ball into each other's faces.
After them beach we came in to gnocchi and leftovers, then off to Sperlonga (sp?) for a touring afternoon. A tiny town at the top of a bluff, 30 years ago it consisted of falling down buildings and dirty streets- now it is the paragon of Tourism. We saw some places for rent that cost 350,000,000 for a season, in a one bedroom apartment! Craziness.
We came back to Gaeta for gelato atriginale (artistic gelato) which was DELICIOUS.
