Pictures for the parents

This is the cat I was going to bring home. He thinks he's a lion that fights gladiators. But really he's a lover, not a fighter. He loved me lots.

Bootleg Louie, right on the streets. No shame here.

Roasted chestnuts. They were amazing (like all Italian food is). I know daddy would have loved them, but there was no way I could have sent them home... so I ate them all.
