I went home for a few weeks at the end of August/early September, and it was (as always) a wonderful trip. Especially because I didn't have to get any teeth pulled. Plus, we went to Vermont during the best weather ever. Is it really necessary to state how beautiful Vermont is?
And blueberry picking is up there with the best activities of all time (along with strawberry and apple picking). We had a grand time and picked a bajillion berries. The only problem with these situations is that you pick so much (because picking is fun!) that you pick more than you can eat, and then spend the next week or so trying to give fruit to everyone you know. But berries picked in Vermont are so much better than supermarket berries, so they're a good gift.
Rosa and I worked on our photo posing skills. We may have perfected the art.
And again. We are explorers of a new land, or something. Either way we deserve a high score for duplicating our poses!
Blueberries aside, though, it's important to comment on one of the things that the US does better than Italy, and that's cake. Cake with frosting. How I miss it! However, I made a special trip get a slice of red velvet cake, excited to eat the whole thing, and I started to feel sick halfway through. Perhaps my time abroad has weakened my stomach - sad!
What else? Oh yeah. Smartest cat ever. Notice that he hangs out and watches TV just like a human?
Dinkie is the best.

Le torte sono una delle cose che gli americani fanno meglio degli italiani?!? Ora parte la sfida!!!
E comunque potevi pure portarmene una mini, no? ;-)
That trip to Vermont was the highlight of the whole summer. And thank you for allowing me to show off to your Italian amici.
Love you!!
You and Rosa are far more beautiful in ANY pose anywhere than any blueberries in Vermont!
