So the one thing I was really looking forward to in Italy was gelato. Yes, I know there are many other interesting things to do, see and eat, but what can I say, gelato makes me happy :)
When we visited Florence, the hometown of Gelato, I heard that there was a Gelato Festival in town that week and I was happier than a kid on Christmas day. We HAD TO GO visit it. It was in a Church piazza (open courtyard) and tastings were only 10 euros! You received 5 tasting cups, a gelato shake, and a gelato reusable bag. We chose to have an alcoholic(of course) ginger mango gelato shake which was absolutely delicious. Then Al and I walked around and tasted all the flavours before we redeemed our 5 tickets. There were a lot more experimental flavours (see Gelato Laboratory photo) than traditional but all delicious nonetheless. We got to taste a pecorino cheese flavor, several coffee flavors, one made with the Brazilian liquor Cachaça and lots of citrusy ones too.
