Ostia Antica,

The reason we decided to take our November visitors to Ostia Lido, was because we had been there just a week or two before they arrived. We discovered the beach town just after we had gone to Ostia Antica, where some of the most extensive ruins are. Aside from that, its just a really quaint town, with picturesque streets, a small castle, and a nice little old medieval Catholic church.

We got of the train  and tried to get our surroundings, but this map, was all we had. And there was no "You are here". Or English. Oh well.

We explored the town for a little, and I'll just let the pictures talk for themselves.

Said Castle. Only open for one hour on Thursday

The medieval church was completely without frills. It was the first that I had seen like that. Just

Say a little prayer for me

The one picture in the church. Very beautiful.

And of course, more playground shots.

It was a pretty hot day so we went to the beach....if only we had swim suits with us!

Traditional Italian Tiki Hut

That's pretty much it...not much to it. (I'm just too behind here)
