Rome’s been heating up over the past week or so. The relatively mild summer has turned into a sweltering one, just at the very moment that most Romans are leaving the city behind for the mare and the montangne.
Thus, today, on a hot Photo Friday that marks the beginning of a new month and the beginning of the Roman vacation season, we bring some idyllic vacation scenes.

From girls hunting for mussels to the myriad of retail opportunities found on the typical Italian beach, Susan Sanders’ photos depict the very stuff of which Roman vacation dreams are made.
The photos were taken earlier this summer in Sperlonga. For more photos by Susan, visit her photo blog, Rome With A View. And, enjoy your holiday!
