our version of Eat.Pray.Love
With only a total of 8 hours in Rome, our family was able to have our very own Eat.Pray.Love adventure. Eat stood for enjoying various brands and flavours of gelato. Pray, for which we were very lucky to actually have a silent moment for prayer inside the Sistine Chapel. And of course Love, which basically meant falling in love with everything the Rome has to offer!

The Colosseum
Trevi Fountain
Unfortunately, the left side of the fountain was undergoing restoration so most of our photos focused towards the center
at least we got to make a wish!

Pistachio and Dark Chocolate
Despite the fact the Italian Gelato contains more sugar than your ordinary ice cream,
I found that authentic gelato has a very subtle sweetness which allows the main flavors to be highlighted. As well as having a more velvety, rich texture that is a far cry from the sometimes overly milky consistency of store-bought ice creams.
