On the first episode of season six, Katy and Tiffany take a trip north (at least in their memories) to the Dolomite mountains in the Italian region of Trentino-Alto Adige. It's a part of the country that is well-loved by Italians from all over the peninsula, but not particularly known by people outside the country.

The sounds of munching goats, clanging cow bells, and haunting chants—snippets of recordings that Katy captured on her two trips to the Dolomites—enliven the conversation that is part travelogue, part guide book, and part two friends reminiscing while wishing they were still on vacation.
