1981. I'm 31 years old, backpacking through Europe for three months. I arrive in Rome and the next day, late in the afternoon, I walk up the Spanish Steps and then up into the Borghese gardens where the Villa Medici is located. From the western edge of the gardens I waited for the sun to set and illuminate the street below. Unexpectedly, the rain stopped and people came out of the shops and began strolling the street. A day that is fresh in my mind today as it was then.
