My first date with Dave was on a warm Saturday night in Fremantle, an ocean side town in Western Australia famous for its little Italian cafes along the so-called “Cappuccino Strip.” Over our years as a young couple, and then later on as parents with boisterous boys, we would inevitably end up in “Freo” most weekends, grabbing a bite to eat or splashing around on a nearby beach. For such a small town, there seemed to be an abundance of ice cream and gelato shops (my favorite!). As a kid, I’d always loved store-bought ice cream, but nothing could compare with the creamy, flavor-filled goodness to be found down in Freo.
