They should pay me to live here

I should be doing this for a living. At age 60, I’ve got a whole new career—personal cicerone in the Eternal City. I can thread my way through the streets of Rome leading you to the Pantheon, Piazza Navona on to Fontana di Trevi and Piazza da Spagna, the Piazza del Popolo and back. I know what churches to stop into to see the Carvaggios, where to get the best gelato and I can do this all while spouting off lots of random information with an air of great authority.

My map is in tatters but I’m not buying a new one. I’ve got three more weeks and I’m finally off book.
