So, here we are in Rome, doing, somewhat expectedly, what Romans do. Eating too much, walking everywhere, pretending to understand Italian menus.

Meanwhile, back home, Jay Jay has apparently decided to live his local life uninterrupted. He dragged our poor dog sitter all the way to downtown Alpharetta and, with single-minded determination, marched straight into Chiringa – our local bar – and parked himself right next to his usual spot.

The Chiringa crew (Mae featured here) has been sending us photo updates.

This dog is not to be trusted.
