Here's a picture of one of my two new turtles! My mom's friend gave them to me because she knows I love her turtles. They were a gift for my First Communion.
Well, the vacation in the U.S.A. is over, we are home in Italy. I loved Philadelphia, seeing my family and swimming in the pool. Golf camp was fun too. One day I went to the beach with my cousin Iris and my Aunt Lori. Iris and I collected lots of jelly fish and tiny sand crabs in a bucket. I made my First Holy Communion which was very special and then had a party which was fun.
Mom says I can take some of the money I got as gifts and buy an aquarium. We looked at tanks. The one I want costs 300 Euro (more than $450). Mom says she wishes we could have brought one from an American yard sale for under $10. We have to ask and see if anyone has one they want to sell. The fish don't cost that much, but the tanks and filters do! I also got two little turtles from my Mom's friend so I bought a new tank for them. And we have the kitten I wanted, even though I am allergic. We try to keep her outside on the deck most of the time.

Next week I want to visit my cousins who have a beach apartment in Terracina until the end of the month. We might see them on Monday. I have a stomach virus for the past week and have to watch what I eat or I get pains. I'm sick of eating plain pasta! I want tomato sauce but my stomach hurts after I eat it. I can eat toast (plain or with jelly), focaccia, roast chicken and applesauce without problems. I think eggs are OK too. I had pasta with oil yesterday and then cheese and milk and I got pains again. Was it the oil or the milk? Today I go back to the safe list of foods! BORING!! Maybe Mom will make a cake. That doesn't give me problems either :).
