The weather has been improving.
I've recovered from two terrible head colds and a round of the stomach bug. #theworst
That means I've finally been able to get out of my apartment and enjoy some of the blue skies and spring air.
I sampled gelato from two more of the gelateria's on
Swide's list of the best in Milan.
I stopped by
Attimi di Gusto a few weeks ago. They definitely had some unique flavors on hand, but I stuck with some more traditional favorites of mine. A lot of the gelato here appeared to be made without milk, and the gelato was felt 'icier' than I prefer, so this place doesn't quite hit the top of my list.

Another day, Caitlin and I headed out to
il massimo del gelato, north of Parco Sempione. This place was AMAZING! It's a good thing that it's not so close to my apartment, otherwise I'm sure I'd be a frequent visitor. They had at least eight different flavors of chocolate!

We thought about going back in for seconds.
And probably should have.
I took time to wait in line at
Luini's for a panzerotto. (Have we discussed Luini's before?) You just must stop here when you are in Milan. I generally stick with a classic choice of tomato and mozzarella, fried. (They offer baked options, for you health nuts.)

There's always a huge line. Thankfully, it moves along quite nicely. |
Caitlin and I rode bikes through the city. (We're warming up for our trip to Amsterdam later this month.)

Caitlin and her teddy! ahahahahaha! |
I finally made it back to the Saturday market on Via Tabacchi and bought both cut flowers and some to plant in my flower boxes.

What have you been up to so far this spring?
