On Thursday for Painting, we walked around and saw the Pantheon (again, but it was around 9am so the tourists weren't really out yet),
Berini's Four Rivers
Trevi Fountain
and we went to a variety of churches.
Yesterday (Saturday), a group of 16 of us went to the beach. It was an adventure trying to get there, but we made it, and now that we actually know where we're going, it'll be easier the next time. The weather was beautiful, and even with sunscreen, I got a little burned. The variety of sun tan lines I have (specifically on my shoulders) is amusing.
Since we've been here, the apartment above ours has been undergoing restoration, so there's been construction workers starting at 9am every morning. This morning was a refreshing change of pace when they didn't work, and the entire apartment was able to sleep in. Around noon, Lindsey, Sarah, and I went to the flea market (I was mistaken when I earlier said it was a farmer's market) that was right along our street. And up the next street, and down another street. It was massive. A strong majority of the vendors had clothing (90% looking the same), followed closely by jewelry and electronics. A decent amount had fun trinkets and there were even a few antique dealers. Overall, it was fun to see, and we'll definitely be going again-- but much earlier to avoid the crowd next time.
