Alison, I was wondering if at McDonalds in Italy a cheeseburger is referred to as hamburger parmagiana and does it come with pasta instead of fries? Glad to see you are doing well and shocked to see that Cosmos are an international beverage!!!! Love you.

Uncle Jim

Hey Alison, Did you forget exactly how Italian your Aunt Anne Marie is?????? And just in case you were wondering, I did not live at home until I was 30!!

Ciao!

Hey Alison...heard you were at Lake Como yesterday. Did you meet George Clooney???? Enjoy...thinking of you and am so excited about your Mom and Stacey going to Italy. Was planning to go to, but our little guy, Caiden, is keeping us busy coming his way. Love you dearly, Aunt Dorothy

Alison, What is a legal beer? Is that different than the ones you had here in the USA? (oops). Just kidding. I am glad to hear you are doing well and staying hydrated. I've heard that wine can dry you out. That's what happened to me when I was in Italy as a high school junior playing for the band (sorry Nana). Love you Alison. Your Uncle Jim

Love the pictures Alison! Especially the pigeons and the pigeons! Only kidding. Very exciting, keep the pictures coming - "so we folks here in Pennslyvania can see what it looks like outside of this here country"

He Haw!

Aunt Anne

Loved your new pictures, Alison! You and your new friends all look so happy, but can you actually converse with them? Does everyone speak English?

Love you!

Hi Alison....so glad you arrived safe and sound. Seems like you have gotten off to a good start already traveling to other cities. Isn't Italy beautiful? Enjoyed your first message from Italy. Keep them coming. Love you.

It didn't take you long to settle in and acclimate yourself to your new surrounings. Sounds like they have good tasting beer in Italy. Don't forget to say Hi to Grandmas paisons. As always, Grandaddy
