...I don't think that my self-esteem can handle 3 pieces of cake...

Paride: "That last piece of cake is calling you"
Me: "I don't think that my self-esteem can handle 3 pieces of cake"
Paride: "What about half?"
Me: "OK"

Yeah, that conversation really did happen...

Saturday night I went to Chiara's family's house for dinner. I was really looking forward to seeing her family again, especially after such a long time. I have kept in correspondence with them, but it's not the same as being with them. So it was really great to be back at their home. It is just as I remember it.

We played with Dory, their beautiful puppy.

 We picked and ate cherries from the cherry tree

We feasted on wine, pasta, salad, cake, caffè and gelato.
We rested in the garden.

It was a perfect night with my famiglia Italiana
