How is it already December 5th? Our blog project is due in two days and our group just concluded our final meeting, tweaking and perfecting our paper and presentation. To wrap up what has been a great semester, we decided to treat ourselves to what else but GELATO! Although we’ve researched, eaten plenty, and discussed gelato, the three of us had yet to indulge in it together as a team. We packed up our belongings from the LDM library and headed out, planning to go to one of our favorite spots just around the corner on Via Faenza. Literally just as we walked out the door of the library, what had been merely a drizzle of rain earlier in the morning turned into an absolute downpour. Aracely was the only one who was prepared with an umbrella. We hustled through the rain only to find that our chosen gelateria was closed! At this point we were fairly wet so we ran in the direction of the Duomo, stopping at the first place we came to just to escape the unexpected downpour. Vero Amore was the name of the small café that also sold premade paninis, cannolis, and a variety of other treats. From our research, we knew this wouldn’t be the best gelato Florence has to offer but it would have to do. We ordered, a cup for me and cones for Alyssa and Aracely, and enjoyed our gelato at a table watching and waiting for the rain to die down. It definitely wasn’t the best but I wasn’t complaining. Rain or shine it didn't matter. Here I was in Florence Italy, with two girls I met for the first time about three months ago, sharing a bond over our love for gelato. This entire semester has been the experience of a lifetime and Dolce Firenze has played a part in the making of those amazing memories.
