The Dangers of Running

Our running route takes us past many eating establishments. There are two that I find most tempting. The first is a bakery that always seems to be baking fresh pastries when I go by, and the second is a gelato place with about twenty different flavours. Luckily the bakery is on the first part of the run, before we get to the park. The gelato place unfortunately is on the way home, when we're walking, so there's more time to drool and really start dreaming.

No, we didn't stop on our run this morning, but we did end up walking home from coffee in the Marais with Zoe, Alex and Hilary. Conveniently, the walk took us right past Amarino's, the gelato place (there was also one in the Marais, but it was absolutely packed!). It was actually a good thing that there was a bit of a line, because you need the time to figure out what flavours you want. I chose a cone with passion fruit and pink grapefruit, Erik had a cup with Nutella and Straciatella.

Erik's Nutella flavour was the winner. It tasted just like the real thing, and even had chunks of real Nutella in it, that would warm up and melt on your tongue. So good!

Glad we went for that run....
