Salon du Chocolat


Yes...that's right...a CHOCOLATE CONVENTION! For the price of 12€, I was allowed to taste all the chocolate I wanted! I went with my roomate, Roxana and our friend Matt on Halloween. Before we went in, our goal was to get sick from chocolate...we succeeded, and it was AWESOME! I tasted chocolate from all over the world, including Paris, New York, Chile, Argentina, and Mexico, just to name a few. I had chocolate cake, hot chocolate, chocolate macaroons, chocolate tea, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, chocolate liqueur, chocolate ganache...and more!!! There was even a fashion show of dresses made out of chocolate! I was in heaven for about 3 hours. When Roxana and I went back to our house for dinner, we told Denise and Gallel that it was paradis (heaven)...they laughed! =) So, even though the French really don't celebrate Halloween, Roxana, Matt and I definately got our treat! Yummmmmm....

ooohhh-la-la! Chocolat! That is incredible and the first picture of you is adorably wired on chocolate! Reminds me of a certain you some 18 years ago in the closet with a bag of chocolate kisses all to yourself. I think it must have smelled wonderful there! The kids in class went crazy looking at all of the chocolate!
