Changing house

Welcome everyone. Benvenuti, cappuccino, capito, allora, va bene to an experiment in writing and living in the same space. Justin and I (Jim) have just moved into a house in Rome, Italy. We are so new to this house that we still don't know where the light switches are. Justin is searching frantically for one now, as I write. What are are trying to accomplish with what seems like just another expat blog, will hopefully give you insight into an alternative view of Rome. I should mention that we live in a makeshift studio apartment inside an artist colony, that was occupied by prostitutes and pimps until a few years ago.
We both work as tour guides in Rome, and maybe you have either taken a tour with us or will in the future. If you haven't yet, get on it! We need the money.
Here you will be able to read stories about some of the more exciting clients we've had, art we see, booze we've consumed and pretty much anything else that comes with the territory of being two young broke Americans in Rome. So sit back and enjoy...
