The other day when I was walking in downtown Geilenkirchen (that's the very small town we live in) I saw that my favorite Gelato cafe, "La Gondola" is opening back up in a few weeks. I got stupidly excited about that! Ice cream is my favorite....I have super powers when it comes to eating ice cream!
As much as I really like ice cream I like Gelato even better. That's the Italian version, it's denser, and more flavorable...and I'm pretty sure it's more fattening. Luckily for me there are lots of Gelato and ice cream (eis in German)shops here in Germany. The Germans love it too.
The only bad part is that a lot of them close during the winter months. The Italians who own "La Gondola" shut down their place and go back to Sicily for the winter...I'm glad they'll be back soon.
When the weather turns nice and warm it's best to ride your bike for ice cream or Gelato. Then at least you get some exercise... and a fattening treat. So whenever we go out for one of our long bike rides and Kevin asks which way I want to go, I strategically route us in the direction of the Gelato shops!
I'm sure he's figured that out by now.
