In Taormina, Sicily, they cheerfully disagree with Mrs. Tweedie's 1904 assertion that the beautiful town is being spoilt, and skip the Grand Tour in favor of swimming holes, table soccer, and taureaux piscine. In Paris, they spend a day on the Champs-Elys es comparing Freetime's le Hitburger to McDonald's Big Mac. In Spain, Trillin wonders whether he will run out of Spanish the way someone might run out of flour or eggs. Filled with Trillin's characteristic humor, \u003ci\u003eTravels with Alice\u003c\/i\u003e is the perfect book for summer travelers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCalvin Trillin\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of many books, including \u003ci\u003eFamily Man \u003c\/i\u003e(FSG, 1998) and \u003ci\u003eMessages from My Father\u003c\/i\u003e (FSG, 1996).
