The Great Gelato Competition (April 16th)
Spent a good chunck of last night figuring out exactly where we're headed after this. All we could figure out was that we are leaving Rome tomorrow morning and heading to Florence for a day or so.
Today we had no agenda and we followed it to a T by pretty much not doing anything interesting all day. Walked down by the Coliseum again because it's just so tempting to make the 15 minute walk down there. Such history!
We grabbed our 4th consecutive pizza and gelato lunch...pretty hard to beat.
Wow, I'm really struggling to make today interesting.
Ummmm..........we took a nap.
Nope, that didn't make it more interesting.
Ummmm........we went to the train station to figure out when to leave tomorrow.
Bah! Still not interesting.
We headed to dinner around 5:30 and decided to walk to find a new and interesting place. We walked east for about a mile and half, didn't find anything (part of the reason was because some restaurants didn't open until 7:00 and we didn't want to wait around). We then decided to head back towards the apartment and hopefully find something on the way. Well, we finally did...half a block away from Katy's apartment.
Somehow the quaint little restaurants we are looking for hide from us. Oh well.
After dinner, we headed to the gelatteria. Now in case you haven't been paying attention, Scott and I have been having a competition to see who eats the most gelato while in Italy. I was up 1 for the longest time, but now Scott is up 1 after I recovered yesterday. Today, Scott was particularly full after our dinner, but he didn't lead on as he matched me 4 scoops to 4 scoops. Slumped and breathing heavy trying to finish his gelato, I sensed my opportunity.
After I was done, I snuck around back and ordered another 2 scoops. Scott shreaks with amazement! I was taking the lead back!
Victoriously feasting on my pineapple and orange gelato, I knew Scott didn't have a gelato's chance in hell of recovering. But this man was not to be outdone.
In a truly Rockyesque performance, Scott swept himself off the mat and threw down the hammer by ordering himself another 2 scoops to retake the lead. Quite a historical performance.
However, the night is not yet over...
Gelato count (so far):
Jordan - 10
Scott - 10

What is a gelato?

I will!
I will!
I'm very jealous of your Gelato battle. Lisa and I were doing that while we were there, but we never spoke of it.
Or maybe because we're girls -- we felt bad about it.
girls are dumb.
love you, jkin
Hey Scott, have a gelato for me Willey, G-Ma
