We left Italy a few days ago, and Alice wants to be sure you know how much she loves it there. After watching Under the Tuscan Sun, she is already insisting on returning and buying a villa in Cortona. Getting her to the UK was another story, that I’m sure she will want to share with her readers soon.
LOVE Italia. Am starting to speak a little Italian. I know the words “bella”, “ciao”, and “gelato”. I, of course, get a lot of “bella” and “ciao, bella!”
I like the coffee shop we go to because the customers understand that I am underfed, and give me pieces of their cornettos every morning.
I get to lick the gelato containers clean. Then my face smells like gelato, which is nice. My favorite flavor is all of them.
I eat out at all the restaurants. But one time, at a bar, I got in trouble for putting my face on the table and taking a nap. I never returned to that establishment! Another time, the man cutting the ham also understood that I am underfed, and kindly gave me a piece of delicious prosciutto.
My human grandma came to see me, and took me on lots of walks and let me lick all the dinner plates clean. A practice human parents should take note of, please!
Italia is my favorite place in the whole world.

Here are a few photos Alice wanted to include with her post. The three below are at her cafe, where she would literally sprint every morning with or without us.
“My Italian bff.” 
“What the heck, this door is always open!” 
“My second Italian bff.”
Alice’s sightseeing tour of Rome. She liked the Trevi Fountain the best.
“It’s hot here.” 
“I’m bored.”
Wine touring in Tuscany.
“Me in an old cave.” 
“Prosciutto friend.”
There was this one incident . . . all was forgiven after we gave her a gelato container peace offering.
Arrivederchi, Italia!
Unemployed and Traveling 
Can’t wait to visit Alice’s Italian villa!
