Paradise Itself

We were in Treviso for two weeks studying Italian with Dvora and Rubi. Every day, after classes, we travelled to a different place – Venetia, Padua, weekend in Capri, and others. One day we decided that we were travelling everywhere but it was time to visit Treviso itself.
At Treviso we split and I went with Debby getting around the city. At a certain point I told Debby I wanted a coffee and she pointed to two coffee places and asked me where I wanted to drink coffee (I am a bit problematic with my coffee). I told her that it really didn’t matter. After all in Italy the coffee is good everywhere.
“Let’s enter here”, I said, pointing to a place called Nascimbem. We entered, asked for coffee and San Pelegrino. Waiting for it, we noticed that everybody – I mean it: everybody - was asking for tiramisu. It was very strange. Debby asked me if I wanted a tiramisu fifty-fifty. I told her yes, why not?
We asked for a tiramisu and when it arrived we took each a teaspoon and we grabbed a piece of tiramisu. And we put it in the mouth.

And time stopped.
Everything became colourful, the flowers bloomed, the birds sang, the gates of glory opened.
We called the waiter and asked him how the tiramisu can be so good. He explained that in Nascimbem they are making tiramisu one hundred and fifty years, that, in fact, they were the first place in the World to make a tiramisu.
Without knowing it, we just have entered paradise itself.
In the photo you can see the waiter and Debby.
