On Saturday we went to Ostia Antica and a nearby beach afterwards. It was about a 20 minute bus ride and a 45 minute train ride to get there. Unfortunately I do not have pictures, as I remembered my camera but not my camera card. :(
But it was really cool to get to see all of the old brick remnants of the bath houses and other structures that can still be explored. There are even still mosaic tiles that have come apart, but are just laying on the ground!
After that the beach felt really good. We lounged around for awhile and enjoyed the sun on our pale, sun-deprived skin.
Today we went to the porta portese market again in the morning, and spent over two hours just looking through everything. There is so much there, you never feel like you get to see it all. And the vendors were all different this time.
After that we went and watched the Germany vs. UK game (which was a very fun one to watch compared to the US vs. Ghana game the night before), and then went out and had salad for dinner at this really good salad place.
Tommorrow we go to the Vatican! I am excited. I will definitely post more pictures soon!
