Here are a few more pictures from when the family came to visit me. Maria and Dad took most of the pictures, actually.

We had the best lunch ever at this winery in Tuscany. Cattia (not pictured) cooked us a delicious meal and sat down and ate with us. Plus, they had a mean Chianti Classico. I want to live at that winery.

Marco, Christina, and me after the meeting of my real family with my host family. We had a really great meal in Rome at the famous Da Fortunato (famous in the Speiser family at least)

Little Cat in the Big City. This picture is for Amy; we missed you on the trip.

In Rome I found a cat commune that is located in ancient Roman ruins. The cats get to climb all over the ruins and sleep in the sun. For some reason, I guess Italy likes their stray cats because there is a cat commune in Ferrara, too. Our commune in Ferrara is not quite as majestic as the Roman one.
