Treats from Italia...

I had a wonderful time with my friends tonight! It was great to surprise my best friend Danielle, the cafe she works at is GORGEOUS... and I got to see my friend Rhiannon who I haven't see in over a month, so it was awesome to catch up with her, all while enjoying incredibly delicious Italian desserts and coffee of course!

When we arrived I was immediately drawn to all the delicious flavors of gelato... I tried a bite of the olive oil, which I am definately going to get some time, it was very rich and tasty! But, I had to settle on two of my favorites (couldn't choose just one!)- I had a small 1/2 green tea 1/2 nutella (one of my favorites when I was in Europe!) It really was just as good as Italy. I had it with a decaf italian espresso and was "forced" to eat the delicious little "coffee cookie" that came along with it...so I definately had my fair share of treats. Three desserts in one day!
Very worth it, though. I love classic Italian cafes, just relaxing in a cozy atmosphere with friends, its absolutely one of my alltime favorite things to do.

The flavors!

My treats:

I ate the gelato, and a couple bites of the "cone".

The little cookie, and my espresso!




Now I'm going through some mail, reading some blogs and relaxing on my Saturday night. Tomorrow night is devoted to studying, so tonight is my R&R night!
