I love ice cream a little more than the next guy, but I love that saying 'I love gelato' makes me sound a little bit more sophisticated. Gelato reminds me of a holiday I had at the ripe old age of 18, road-tripping for two solid weeks through Northern Italy with my sister and our friend Riccardo. It was a bittersweet trip of sorts, our other travel partner, my sister's best friend, had collapsed and died but a few weeks beforehand from a brain hemorrhage. The whole trip it was like she was there, but wasn't. We even had a spare, empty seat in the car for her, somewhat subconsciously I think. 

All in all it was a trip of firsts for me, my first roadtrip, the first time i'd scaled a fence to see the beautiful coasts, the first time I jammed with a real band, the first time I sat in front of   the first time the first time I had gelato,
