GELATO!

The other night while walking down the streets of Rome near our apartment a friend and I were on a search for a good place to get some Gelato. We ran into a small simplistic bar about a 5 minute walk from where we lived. We had no plans for that night so decided to sit down and get some gelato. We quickly realized how packed the place was getting. There were cute tables spread out all along the front of the bar and a ton of teenage to middle aged people sitting around together and eating their ice cream. This place was really cool because not only did it have gelato but it had gelato that you could add fruit and nuts to, or you could order crapes. This place was in a setting of almost a mini Campo de Fiore. There were your typical men carrying around flowers and flashing sunglasses to buy. But this bar seemed different, it was like a hangout spot for younger people who were just looking to sit outside and enjoy ice cream and good weather in a relaxed atmosphere. I'm really glad we found the place because we ended up chatting with some locals whose English was pretty decent and what we had planned to be a quick trip for gelato turned out to be our event for the night. I'm glad we found a nice place where people go to just enjoy eachothers company, and im looking forward to going back!
