An Accidental Gelato Trip

As I was making my list of "101 Things to do in 1,001 Days" I came across tons of lists of things to do and places to go in DC. And something that tops the list - visiting a famous gelato store in Georgetown, called Dolcezza. I thought nothing of it, until I remembered my July 4th weekend.

On July 4th, as I drove some friends from a cookout in north Georgetown to the fireworks in Rosslyn, I popped a tire and had to pull over on Wisconsin Avenue. As my friends and friendly strangers tried to help (don't worry, I called AAA to help me out and they did a spectacular job of showing up and fixing my car in little under 30 min!), one nice guy jokingly said I should just give up and grab some gelato. And you know what? I did. My car had conveniently broken down right outside the Dolcezza Gelateria, so while I waited for AAA, I partook of the dark chocolate gelato. So although I was in a cruddy situation, I took a little time to sit and relax, because there's really nothing else you can do. And it felt great to just NOT worry so much, and just take what comes as it comes :)

Life lesson learned. S*** happens. Suck it up, and get on with living life.

And now I've completed #98 - Visit a Gelateria.
