Howdy from Roma.

Today we woke up early to go to this HUGE market, Porta Portese.

This is only like 1/8th of the people and size of the market. There were thousands of people and so many booths! Mostly booths of knock-off Gucci, Prada, and Louis Vitton stuff. We were there for about 4 hours just wandering around. It was funny because there is a group of men who sell knock off purses and sunglasses. When the police come they flock like pigeons. It is hilarious to see them scatter away in the middle of the market. It was very fun bargaining with them - you can get them down to a quarter of the original price! It's great having the power while shopping. haha.

After that we bought our train tickets to Brindisi, Italy which is where we will get out ferry to Greece from...

I have posted some random pictures below.

This is a picture of Mike eating some Guinness Fudge. By the look on his face I would say it's nasty!

This is a picture from the Vatican that I took yesterday. The picture does not even show half of the amazingness!

This is a picture of me throwing a penny over my shoulder into Fontana di Trevi for good luck.

Me eating a GIANT donut at the market...mmm... healthy breakfast!!

Here's Mike with a McDonald's Big McTasty - the second HUGE food item of the day. This is the first time Mike wasn't able to finish both of our meals!! Note: That is a Big Mac on the left which is like half the size.

Just relaxing at the "hostel". I think it looks more like a resort. I would say we got pretty lucky with this place considering we booked it online and the price (about $25CDN/night for our own bungalow)!

And last but not least, here is Mike chillaxing by the pool.

We will talk to you next once in Greece. PZ. BTW, today was 22.5 degrees celcius!
