Equi Terme


After school yesterday a group of us headed off into the hills to a wee medieval village called Equi Terme. Equi Terme, besides being a GORGEOUS town, is famous for it's natural hot springs, caves, and hiking.

Alas, the hot water springs were closed. (Apparently they only open them when the air matches the water temperature. :P) So a few of the crew went for a dip in the frosty river water instead. Not me though. I'm chicken! But I did get my tootsies wet. That's gotta count for something...

Excuse me... Right now I have Remington breathing over my shoulder and it's VERY distracting. Thanks Rem. So if I mis-type blame him and his wet gargly breathing. Rem, I told you jumping in that ice cold water would be bad, but nooo you had to prove how manly you were.

Anyways, back to Equi Terme. The cave system has carved away the mountain side into these incredible shapes and it was amazing to sit beneath them. Especially wonderful given the icy wind blowing out of the caves. Sooo nice on a boiling hot day.

Today we're off to the Cararra marble mine. I'm going to look like a ghost, call covered in marble dust. So fun!
