Italy 3.5: Mmmmm....gelato

Ok, this gets its own post. As some of you know, the BEST THING about Italy is the gelato. Ice cream, you say? No! It's gelato! (yes, strictly translated that does just mean ice cream, but it's so much better!) Gelato is very creamy and soft, but thicker than soft-serve ice cream. Here's some flavors that I remember seeing:

Pineapple, coconaut, chocolate chip (stracciatella), pistachio, bocci (choc and hazlenut), chocolate, white chocolate, raspberry, strawberry, mango, kiwi, lemon, coffee, banana, caramel pear, apple, blackberry, vanilla, strawberry shortcake, and on and on.

Some places had more than others and the prices varied quite a bit. This picture was from a place we went to in Sorrento. The lady that owned it was really cool and chatted with us for a bit. We had gelato almost every day. I miss it so.....
