Delicious desserts

Hi it's Nina. While I've been in Greece, I have tried lots of different desserts and I'll tell you about some of them. Well, some of you guys probably know what gelato is, but if you don't, I'll tell you what it is. It's like ice cream but it's made with milk and not cream. It's from Italy but for a long time people from Venice lived here in Tinos and on Crete. So, they probably brought gelato here. There are some gelato places near where we live in New York but they don't have as many flavors. The other day I went to a gelateria and there was a lot of flavors, about 50! There was one that was toffee and cocoa and a lemon and dulce de leche. But that was just three of them--there was way more! I have also tried strachiatella which is vanilla with chocolate shavings. I have also tried strawberry and toffee and cocoa. Maybe by the time I grow up I will try them all!

We have some photos to show you but they won't upload so we will try later.
