and lower exchange rate, this

is necessary so that I can

My money is in 10,000 lire

Foreign Currency
Money is difficult for Am

almost a mental block at

Idiosyncrasies In Rome
Kaeh time I come to Rome

tn have to learn anew the idio
fiyncracirs of Roman living.
It takes several weeks to fall
into the pattern, because pat
tern there is, and after I real
ise that I must count change,

railway station, that I can
hold up long lines to do it,
most of my frustrations arc
over.
The little prickles of dally
living - taxi drivers, lire, and
cars - are on one sine of me
margin. On the other are the
incomparable compensations
which Rome offers. To see
Palestine hill is an experience
in itself, but to be on it at
night, to 5it under the stars
fit a concert and to look out
through 40-foot arches over to
the lighted Colon scum, to
