Two Short Days at the End of Jake's Family European Visit

Borghese Park has these fun bikes that you can rent for only 5 euro/hour.  So we loaded up and had a blast.  The best part is flying down a hillside, and the worst part is pushing them back up the hill!  Jake let Lily drive and he sat in the passenger seat which we thought was brave HOWEVER he let Kate drive all by herself!  He said that was much scarier....and indeed she was driving like a maniac!

These two rented their own bikes.  We had an entire hour and since it was so hot, we were pretty exhausted even after 1/2 hour had passed, but we kept going for the full hour.

The second day, and their last day in Rome, and indeed their last day in Europe, we took the day and drove to a gorgeous beach called Sperlonga.  No photos of the beach but imagine flour white sand that goes out forever in a shallow immersion of the clear clear water.  It was a glorious day.  We were hurrying to get home in time for the World Cup game between Belgium and England.  Belgium won 1 to 0, but both teams moved to the next level.  Jake and family left early the next morning back to PA and we left as well on a trip to Northern Italy.  Again, thanks for the visit Jake and family.  We loved having you!!!  And guess what, it's REALLY hot now, so you came just in time!
