Afternoon in Italy and Germany

In Italy they have the outstanding, in my estimation, tradition of taking a gelato during one’s afternoon stroll.  I would always select a “coppette grande solo Crema Come Una Volta”, which was a large cup of a crème-based gelato with just a hint of lemon.  I firmly believe that I could enjoy that every day for the rest of my life.  It was very relaxing to take one’s cup for a stroll.

In Germany they have a tradition, too.  The German tradition is “Kaffee und Kuchen”, which is simply going to a Konditeria or a café to have cake and coffee.  The cakes are luscious and the coffees are, for me, double espressos.  I would have me afternoon snack and then take my stroll to watch others snack.  They are both very nice and very relaxing afternoon traditions.
