Sperlonga, thanks to Deborah

Our friend went to Italy this summer for another friend's wedding. (sigh. Oh, to have gone with her!) She did get fantastic photos that we've been devouring ever since she sent them to us. (Thus appeasing us somewhat.) She gave me permission to post these. In case you've been wondering where I got my name "sperlonga" from, this is IT. And you'll see why it was a wonderful place to spend our summer afternoons. The cave in the photo below was where Tiberius Caesar had his villa. He had placed statues strategically in the cave to catch the sun as it entered the cave. At one point in our time there, we were able to go inside it. The statues (of the Cyclops particularly) are in a museum there. The first two photos are connected so you can get a sort of panoramic view.
