Swimming

Ladispoli

We went to this town called Ladispoli. The sand was BLACK which we thought was because it was made out of lava rock. There were a lot of waves and I got smashed around a couple of times but it was really fun.

Mom says: You rent these little umbrellas that come with tables and hooks for your towels attached and lounge chairs with built-in face shaders for maximum lounging. Plus there's always a cafe nearby so you can drink your cappuccino while you ignore the children.

Lake Bracciano

We also went swimming at this lake with our friends Henry and Silas. We took a train there. It was pretty cool.  We saw swans. I was about to touch one when I realized that was NOT a good idea. Before we left we got popsicles.
