In case you were curious where I was yesterday, listen the following:
Chocolate, by Soul Control (You can ignore the silly video that goes along with it)
This was a song that we heard yesterday afternoon on our day trip....to Perugia for the Eurochocolate Festival 2011! It was really something. Picture a beautiful, quaint Italian town packed with happy people wandering the streets eating chocolate, tent after tent after tent of chocolate vendors, and everything chocolate. Literally everything! With our handy-dandy ChocoCards supplied to us by our program director, we got samples at various tents throughout the festival plus a souvenir picture frame....made of chocolate! At the festival, you could find chocolate churros, hot chocolate (of every variety- including hot nutella!), chocolate kebabs, chocolate muffins, chocolate liqueur, chocolate bars, chocolate gear (?), chocolate covered nuts/fruit/espresso beans, crepes with chocolate, chocolate juice, chocolate bears, chocolate truffles, and chocolate anything else you can imagine. It was truly a sight to behold (and taste!). I even sampled an onion flavored chocolate (not by choice- the lady behind the counter said, "Here, try this! Can you guess what is in this chocolate?" I don't recommend it if you've never had onion chocolate).
We had a blast sampling and buying various chocolate products and salivating while eyeballing what we didn't. The look on Caroline's face said it all when she took the bite into that (first) Lindt chocolate truffle. We were happy as could be.
And chocolate is good for you, right? That's what I've always heard, anyways...
Ciao for now,
Grace
