At 8:00 this morning a car alarm went off and it was LOUD. Not the little beep beep of European cars but loud honk, honk, honk. This is the first car alarm I’ve heard in Italy. It goes on and on. People start opening their windows and yelling in Italian.

Finally I go to the window to see why no one has turned this alarm off. Of course, I look out the window and realize it is OUR big American cadi. So of course I panic. . . someone must be stealing our car and I’m in my pajamas and Matt is at work. What do I do, what do I do??? I start looking for the keys and can’t find them. Where did Matt put the keys?!?!? Then Will walks into the room holding the keys with his finger on the alarm button and proudly saying “I push button! I push button!” Must find a better place for the keys.
