Thank you for sending this link to me! I didn't visit the Marina, only the hill top town of Gioiosa Ionica as that is where my husband was born, and where he still has relatives. We stayed in Siderno, where my husband's sistter has a house, and swam in the Ionian Sea there. Such rustic areas, but so beautiful! And the food.......everythng so delicious and fresh. I loved waking up and smelling eggplant already being fried by all the women in the neighborhood for the siesta meal. It is so much fun to read a blog written by someone in southern Calabria! I am adding you to my blog roll and will be checking in frequently. Thanks!

I'll eat your share until you get back here, if that's OK ;) Sarala, I have to say that I hardly ever ate ice cream in the US, but here, it’s hard to pass a gelateria without stopping.

My two brief summers in Italy, I practically ate gelato daily. I too had my favorite spots near my rented house. It was hard to find bad Gelato in Italy. It is hard to find edible gelato in the US. I'm so jealous. This one kills me. My two brief summers in Italy, I practically ate gelato daily. I too had my favorite spots near my rented house. It was hard to find bad Gelato in Italy.

Don't worry, though, the next time I have some, I'll think of you :)<br/><br/>Scarlett, actually yes, I have gotten samples of gelato at places (a certain "Smurf" flavor in Catanzaro comes to mind--blech!). It probably helps if it's a cute young guy behind the counter, but I think they're all just happy to make a sale :)<br/><br/>Ah, and *of course* you'd be involved with the CMN--this is starting to get scary (and if you happen to be reading this, I swear I have been working on an email to you for days now and every time I start typing, something comes up--phone, person, etc...it'll arrive shortly!) ;) Dana, real gelato is rather difficult to find outside of Italy even when Italians are making it–people who know far more than I about the process can explain it better, but in any event, it’s quite sad.

How did I miss you in responding?! My mom and I never worked in the phone center (which is why I didn't say "telethon"...and anyway, I was kind of forgetting whether I was confusing that whole thing with Jerry Lewis) but always outside in the carnival part. I distinctly remembering riding an elephant there, though, if that means anything. We always worked in a food or soda stand--and I have many old t-shirts at home to prove it ;)<br/><br/>JennDZ, heh, well when you know what's good, you know what's good ;) I had a tiny bit of nocciola last night...shh....

I guess hearing you'd be away for a while just got me so overwhelmed! ;)<br/><br/>Anyway, this sounds so good! Roberto and I had Gelato yesterday - guess what kinds?? Pistachio and Choc. Hazelnut! I guess great minds think alike! Those would be considered our staples, although generally I prefer just plain nocciola, however it was not in the offerings yesterday!
