This morning I played a long while with the dogs while my dad went to pick up a rental car. He arrived with a brand new Ford Focus. It’s pretty big for Italian standards. We went out for lunch. I had penne pasta with yummy cheese and meat. It was delicious. The bread was good too. I like Italian food! After lunch we went to a big supermarket where they have an underground parking garage. The first thing you do is get a cart. To do that, you have to put a 2 Euro coin into a safe on the cart. Then it releases the cart and you take the cart into the store. You know how at the airport they have those people movers that are like flat escalators? Well, the ramp up to the store that you get on from the parking garage is like that. It’s slanted up and the wheels on the cart lock onto the ramp so it doesn’t roll backwards.

We did our shopping and then we went back to our apartment. Hannah and I played with the dogs for a long, long time. We all had lots of fun. After that, our bell rang in our apartment and guess what? The woman who owns the villa Teresa, made us a beautiful dessert cake that has a sweet orange glaze. It looks delicious. Now I am going to go have some and go to bed.
