Tourists

Yesterday I was in the Forum, happily wandering through various ruins. I got there about nine and it was fairly empty. An hour or so later and I realized I no longer had as much space I originally did. Due, of course, to the half dozen tourist groups who had suddenly swarmed in, wearing their earpieces and matching bandannas. But luckily, Rome's big enough for both myself, and the tourist groups.

And the locals too I suppose.
