How To: GELATO HEAVEN ADDICTION

  • Addiction begins when you stare into the rainbow of colors in the display case and say to the person on the other side of the glass partition, "Un gelato, per favore.

    Ah ha, the flavor?What flavor to choose from the myriad of selections. It's never easy to choose a flavor. They all look yummy and after having several, which you will, you're still not sure that the one next to the one you have chosen, may not be better.

    There must be a gelato store in Rome like coffee shops are in Seattle, on every corner. Italians don't have a monopoly on loving gelato and once you have tasted one, you're hooked. Gelato lovers may claim one store over another, but to me any gelato store will do. "Un nuovo gelato, per favore."

  • Rome has great sights, great restaurants, and great outdoor markets. PIAZZA CAMPO DE' FIORI has a fantastic market every morning except Sunday and the fruits and vegetables are a sight to behold and also to buy.

    Nothing like a fresh fruit in the morning to awaken the palate to all the culinary delites that await you the rest of the day and night in romantic Roma. The market at the piazza is located between the Piazza Navona and Ponte Sisto, the bridge over to Trastevere.

    Make sure you return in the evening to this piazza to see the transformation of the outdoor market to a glorious palate of sight and sound as the lights bounce off the walls and the music fills the night.

     The B&B looks great. My visit to the Spanish Steps wasn't anything like yours. Not a flower sight!
