I love the beach!I love the beach!
I love the beach!

July 17th trip.
Viareggio was the closest beach to florence, only an hour by train, so I went to this beach three times! (Once in June, once in July, and once in August.. the day before I was to return to the states.)

It's a pretty busy beach so if you arrive after lunch time, and it's a busy day, you might have to walk for a while down the beach to find an available bano. Bano doesn't always mean bathrooms.. in this case.. it's an area you rent umbrellas from... which you have to do if you want to be on this beach! Included in the rental are the area's facilities, which are nice. There's areas off the sand for eating, you can get little storage rooms for changing and locking up your items, access to a shower room, and BATHROOMS! It really is a nice setup, I like it!

The water at Viareggio takes a while to get deep, so for this reason, alot of people play a form of volley ball out in the water just goofing off with friends, it's so relaxing! ...and you always know it's the weekend and people are going to the beach, because even back in Florence, all the teens and 20-somethings have on their shorts and flipflops and head for the train station!

Life is a series of adventures, and here I find myself resting before the next one begins! Having never stepped on an airplane until I was 21, (I'm 28 now), I'm a bit amazed looking back that I've been able to see the places I have (given the limited budget!) in such a short time. Needless to say, that first airplane ride by myself to Italy got me hooked on the travel bug! Dance is also a huge passion of mine. ****SCROLL DOWN PAST THIS POSTING LIST TO GET TO THE ENTRIES!!!****** List of postings: 2012.January.19 - Nassau, Bahamas (Cruise!) 2012.January.18 - Key West, FL (Cruise!) 2... full info

In this game, you try to flick the ball through the obstacle course and each person takes turns. First one does, wins! They must have spent quite some time on the set up!
