Five Roman Fountains You Can"t Miss
Rome is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn"t want to live there. I mean, let"s be honest. Sooner or later we all have to get back to work. And the prevailing atmosphere in your typical eternal city is, well, it"s just not conducive to that. Not even when the only work you are doing is following a travel itinerary. Why go back to "work" when you can spend every single day here marveling at one astounding masterpiece after another? Why go shopping for groceries when nothing you cook will ever taste as good as the Roman cuisine you can find at that little trattoria around the corner? Why brush your teeth or make your bed in the morning when, wait, hold on. Let"s skip that one. I guess what I"m trying to say is that there is simply too much to see here. And YOU will NOT have an eternity to see it. This also applies to the circa 280 fountains you-could-find-in-Rome-if-you-had-the-time-to-do-so-but-you-won"t-so-don"t-even-think-about-it, of course.
