CHOCOLATE! Really, that is all that needs to be said. Well, besides the fact that it's nutritious and delicious and has it's own festival in Perugia. Which is AMAZING! If you get a chance to go and spend a couple of days there, do. Perugia was incredible. It is such a small city compared to Rome. People actually stop to say hello and have conversations, where as in Rome, it's just rushing around. The chocolate was of course, AMAZING! The festival brings in chocolate from all over Europe! There is basically every brand of chocolate that is delicious enough to come, plus a lot of carts selling fresh homemade chocolate! Of course, there was also chocolate covered everything specialty hot chocolate everywhere! The hot chocolate is really just that, chocolate heated up. No additional milk added. It was delicious.
The chocolate festival is so large that they now sell EuroChocolate cards, which are cards with different stations where you can get samples of CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!!! It was very exciting, and allowed us to try some chocolate that I never would have . . . and got us a chocolate picture-frame (made out of CHOCOLATE!)
Well, what kind of chocolate festival would be complete without giant chocolate sculptures?
So, Lesson #44: Eat, Live, Breathe and LOVE chocolate!
