080 dieci ragioni di visitare l'Italia

Mmmm, gelato, anyone? In a country of many culinary treats, this is the best - cheap, portable, and abundant, with millions of flavors to try.

I could have used some gelato yesterday, as I finally made it out to the beach. It's about a 30 minute train ride from my office, and total transit time from my house is about an hour. Nothing spectacular, just sand and water, and cool breezes. Everyone says to go during the week because it's miserably crowded on the weekends, and it was indeed nice.
