Marco has a motorino so it was fun to ride all the way out there on the scooter. In the morning it was cloudy so he didn't want to go. Italians see disaster in a single cloud. I said, 'come on, it's just passing! I saw it pass over my neighborhood about an hour ago!' So we went and it turned out to be a gorgeous day.
At the end of the day we came back to Rome and went to an Indian restaurant. It wasn't too bad, but not the same as New York. I miss Indus Valley's Chicken Tikka. Anyhoo, here are the pics:
The Lago:
We found a spot to take a swim. The water was surprisingly mild. Me on a rock after the swim:
Another lago pic:
Marco after the swim - I couldn't get him to smile:
After we spent a few hours at the lake we went up to Castel Gandolfo. A view of the lake from the town:
There are the Pope's guards. That yellow flag in the background means that the Pope is in town:
The town square. There were some people getting married at the church, which was cute:
Some houses. This place was really the typical Italian town. As Marco said, we could have been anywhere in Italy:
Another street scene:

A fontanella (little fountain, often one from which you can drink.):
Peaking at the lago through buildings:
Me at the town edge:
The church bells:
Leaving the piazza where the entrance to the Pope's house is:
