the sea...

We were able to make a 2 days trip to the sea. The boys are nearing the end of their summer holidays here and so it was special that we were able to go to the sea.
The water was clear and we had so much fun snorkeling around the rocks and seeing all the fish. There was a lot of jellyfish as well but they were small and harmless. It took the first day to get used to touching them while we swam. Feeling their jelly-ness on your hands was a bit freaky at first. But by the second day we hardly noticed them.

Sadly we didn't take many pictures but these are a few of the boys enjoying the beautiful Mediterranean Sea.

Derrion snorkeling...




Ethan Diving....

We found a cliff that we could climb and jump or dive off of (no pics because we all swam there). Ethan was really brave and dove off of the high rocks as well Angelo. I wasn't so brave and only did a couple of jumps...heh.






On our way back home we stopped to admire the beautiful vineyards of Tuscany. It is said that these vineyards produced some of the best wine in the world. They are all surrounded by electric fences, so no tasting for us...
