Street Markets and Walks along the River

Today, my roommates and I decided to check out a massive street market which takes place outside our building every Sunday. The market was HUGE and packed tightly with tents for every type of merchandise you could think about. We were totally unprepared for the magnitude of the experience, but we did manage to find a nice cutting board for the apartment for only €5! (The one that came with the apartment is more suited to a doll house than a furnished apartment...lol) We also found a splatter screen to help with some of our pots.

After we walked to one end of the market, we came back down along the Tiber River. The views were fantastic:

Overall, things are going great! On Tuesday, we are making a dry run to meet our school bus which will take us to the campus, but we do have to walk a bit or catch the tram to the bus stop.

I am really getting excited to begin teaching again, now I just have to try not to sleep in so often! LOL

Ciao,
Kyle
