Porta Portese Market


Since I stayed in last night to do some homework and skype with my grandpa, as pictured. Considering he had never used a computer it was an interesting experience but he really liked it. But anyways, since I stayed in last night I was refreshed and ready to adventure a little in the morning before coming home for an afternoon of homework. I know, sometimes I forget I'm here for school also. Don't hate me mom and dad.
The Porta Portese market is every Sunday and is probably the biggest in Rome. It doesn't have fresh produce or anything, but it was tons of clothes, boots, bags, shoes and home goods sorts of things. I remember reading or hearing somewhere that if you get your stuff stolen during the week, head to the Porta Portese market and you can likely buy it back pretty cheap. We found super glue (for our masks for carnival, we really don't want the strings to fall off so we're taking precautionary measures) and each got a tupperware so that we can take our lunches in a more eco friendly way and possibly have sandwiches that aren't like pancakes anymore.
After that we just came home, made grilled cheese as we call it, but it's bread, prosciutto, and I used brie cheese and an egg and then got in bed for some good old homework. I'll probably shower and get back to my homework in a minute, but tomorrow morning my onsite class will meet at Campo di Fiori... should be interesting to be there during the day since that's the area everyone goes out in at night. Off to do some work. Ciao.
