This past weekend was much like the last. Lots of sleeping and movies and working out. Nothing really happened Thursday or Friday. On Saturday Mark and I hiked to the top of Rome's tallest hill, Gianicolo Hill, to check out the view. It was pretty cool, you could see about 10 miles in all directions. I found out how to use the Panoramic setting on my camera and downloaded a Microsoft program that pastes the pictures into a panorama. Meanwhile, John took a day trip to Perguia to tour a Chocolate Factory and go to the Chocolate Festival. On Sunday, Mark and I woke up early and took a bus to Santa Susana Church where we attended an English mass. Afterwards we went to the Porta Portese Flea Market. This time we acutally made it through the whole market. The main drag is like two miles long filled on both sides and there are a bunch of side streets that have tents set up. We went there knowing what we wanted to buy which was nice, so we knew to look for certain tents that had what we wanted. Mark was looking for a portable speaker for his Archos and I was looking for a belt and some other stuff.. We ended up getting what we wanted and we both got some authentic silk ties that look pretty sweet for cheap! Sunday night we went to Abby Theatre to watch the Packer's Game. Somehow they won. And Rodgers did pretty good for my fantasy team too! Tonight we have basketball in Trastevere and tomorrow we have our onsite class, ending up inside the Colloseum. I think were going to spend a couple of extra hours there and check it out.
Ciao.
