Costa Concordia

 The last 9 days of our trip were spent in Porto Ercole, Argentario ... and, as the Costa Concordia sunk just on the other side of the island...well, we all took the ferry to the island of Giglio to see the wreck for ourselves.
It was sad. It was amazing to see how close to 'land' this former luxury cruise ship had landed...and to see that people who were on the 'wrong side' of the ship must've gotten stuck in their cabins as the ship tilted over on its side.
The ship is in the harbor--yes, that close to land...It was a long, hot, kind of exhausting day for the children...not a lot to see on Giglio. But, as ever, the food was fresh (Seafood) and I managed to do a bit of shopping (purses, bathing cover ups, as usual).
Enjoy!
