Strange shopping in Rome

Treasure hunting at Porta Portese flea market
Today there is a HUMONGEOUS outdoor flea market going on at the end of our street. We got up and just chilled at our place for a little bit before walking over there. The market was the size of orchard park mall...put together three times. Every single street was crowed with antique items, clothes, pursues, home decor and vintage stuff. Endless tables of objects laid in front of us. We couldn't even make it to the end it was so big and we ended up getting lost quite a few times!!!!!!! One really cool thing about the market was there were these different tables with clothes from certain stores and one of the tables was from Brandy Melville!!! Everything from their whole store was put in piles on huge tables and it was on 5 euro for one clothing item!!! Talk about the best deal ever!! 

After hitting up the giant market, we went home to get some lunch! We didn't really have any plans after lunch so I had planned for all of us to go to the mall and my family agreed! The only thing was it was a half hour taxi drive away, which would be pretty expensive, but they still said we could go! This was the worst. idea. EVER. I thought everyone would have a good time at the mall but all the stores were cheap and hot and stuffy and there was this really strong perfume that smelt bad and gave everyone a headache. No one even got anything so it was a waste of time and I felt so bad!! I dragged my family to a stupid, far-away shopping mall!!! It was seriously disturbing but at least we're laughing about it now!!! 

Once we got home from the haunted mall, Dad and I went and got pizza for Tobin and I because dad and mum are going to a jazz show without us tonight. When they left, Tobin and I had our pizza, and then went out to the popular square near our house! Tobin played around with this clown dude blowing bubbles around (I watched from a far, far away distance). We got gelato from one of our favorite places called "Fatamorgana" and I got white chocolate flavor that tasted heavenly and actually had chunks of white chocolate in it!! 
Once we were done our gelato, Tobin and I walked to on outdoor water fountain and filled up some water balloons we had!! We played target practice where I tried to hit Tobin with a water balloon from a certain distance away and vice versa. I sniped him quite a few times but he nailed some water balloons at me too. When we finished there was this homeless old gypsy lady close by who Tobin and I had visited the day before and she is honestly so sweet and when we gave her our change yesterday her face lit up like a Christmas tree so we just had to go and give her our change from the gelato! Watching her get so excited and blow us kisses made my day!!! 

After that Tobin and I walked home and started watching a movie called "Wild Child" (one of my favs) then went to bed. 

Creep it real-mimirockzzz
