Just Rome

Rome. I don’t like working here–charitably put, work-life balance is totally out of balance in some regions of Italy–but I love being in Rome. You can play all day long in and around the The Forum and Palatine Hill, where antiquities are still being found. You can stroll the City. There’s this guy with a shop at the Piazza Navona–2000 years ago the Piazza was a Roman circus (i.e., track) you can still see if you try–who sells me these unique old prints, beautifully framed, that I bought for my father in Cincinnati and my alleged girlfriend in LA. I go to that shop on every trip. The Tiber River is gorgeous and, like the Seine in Paris, steeped in history, and a bit melancholy and mysterious.
