9/7 Flea market; Zara; Park

9/7

• went to Porta Portese AGAIN...for those who don't remember what that was, it's the biggest flea market here in Rome
• tons of stuff- old typewriters, statues, socks, bras...basically anything you want
• well i was recycling my shirts way too often- i barely brought any clothes
  
• so i bought 4 tops for about 9 euros altogether which is about 13.5 dollars so pretty damn good
  
• but THEN gloria and i (we're called "gg" btw cuz our initials are EXACTLY the same- GH) decided it was too hot to go home and went to a big shopping center for AC.
  
• there was a Zara store there so OF COURSE we went in to take a gander. and i fell in love with this plaid dress- i struggled for a very long time but in the end, i bought it- 40 euros
• mann....things here look so much chic-er and more fashionable but i PROMISE to wear it here and in the US. but right now, my legs looked disease because the bug bites left like brown marks
  
• then near our apartment, there's this park on top of the hill- Gianicolo Park. there's an impressive fountain, a good view, and really pretty buildings.
  

• on bottom: it's a fountain but in the back, there are apartments
  

• we found out that the street we live on- Via Goffredo Mameli is named after the dude that wrote the national anthem for Italy.
• here's the statue of his head
