The Gelato

Gelato deserves its very own blog entry. I was expecting that we would have gelato every day on our trip; however, we only had it twice. The cold weather probably had something to do with this. We sampled quite a variety though including pistachio, banana, cream, mint chocolate chip (which is hard to find in Europe), coconut, nutella and several variations of chocolate. We also learned that if you agree to sit down and eat your gelato in the little cafes that they call gelatterias it costs triple what it normally costs! We did this once and learned our lesson quickly; however, that was the day when we literally walked Rome, so it was nice to sit down for a bit.
