Was It the Best Gelato I’d Ever Had Because I’d Just Survived a Brain Tumor?

On the first day of our trip, I saw a sign:

For me, vertical typography is a magnet.

We went in, and I ordered yogurt gelato. On the first lick, I said, “Can we come back tomorrow?” and after the second, “Can we come back tonight?”

Every day of the trip at some point, I would sing the song “Gabrielle,” by the Nips, and Jason would drive us there.

I’d get only two items: a simple yogurt gelato (made with yogurt, sugar and cream) or fresh yogurt with berries.

Both were the best I ever had.
