ICELAND GELATO

Spile · Himarë · Albania

A cabinet on the pavement, and a swirl off the machine.

The glass cabinet stands at the front, so the pans are the first thing you meet, pale blue tags standing in them. The swirl comes off the machine. Inside, the chilled case: whole cakes, small pastries and trays of little desserts in foil cups.

Taken there, or carried off.

The cabinet is out on the pavement and the road is right there. A cup and a spoon, or a cone in the hand for the walk down to the water.
