Hey MP when are you coming? I'll send you a list of gelato spots. My husband is a gelato-maniac. Oh, and check these guys out: http://cleanhotdry.com/ There is quite a coffee culture in town now.

DO go to the aquarium. I've been to many aquariums and it's the one I feel best in. I love the way it uses entertainment to sneak up education about marine life on people. Great stuff for kids (hands-on with a sea cucumber anyone?). It's truly involved with conservation. And it's run by a combination of staff (350) and volunteers (over 600).

I'll keep you updated.
