Chocolate Anyone?

A couple weeks ago I was able to experience the Chocolate Festival in Perugia (sound familiar, yes that is where Amanda Knox was studying).

I went with a couple of my roommates and I think we were drooling the whole time.

Let's just say, as a woman, I absolutely love chocolate.

We arrived in Perugia mid morning and headed straight the the festival. Once we got there we got our "choco cards" so that we would be able to have free tastings at different chocolate tents.

With our card, we got to try hot chocolate (which was more like hot pudding that is how thick it was), a chocolate yogurt milk that had a fruit flavoring (this was really interesting), different generic chocolates and were able to receive a picture frame made of chocolate (unfortunately it was dark chocolate so I gave it to my roommate who wasn't able to attend).

I have never bought so much chocolate in my entire life at one time. Let's just say it is almost all gone. I had the most delicious chocolate covered banana when I first got there.

While in Perugia we had a nice lunch at a hidden restaurant. It was a little pizzeria and it was so good. We all order pizza (of course) and realized when we got them we probably could have shared between the three of us. It was gigantic.

After that I went on a chocolate binge and bought tons of chocolate. My favorite was these little bars of milk chocolate with different dried fruits in them. I got banana, orange and strawberry (banana, arancia and fragola for translation). I liked the orange the best. I also got a giant bar of mint chocolate, and yes it is the color of mint you would think of. It is a beautiful green and I kind of don't want to eat it, but it is delicious :].

After being in a chocolate coma we headed back to Florence taking a nice long nap on the bus. Everyone was sleeping, out cold. So asleep that one of the guys had a great time taking pictures of everyone sleeping. Fun Times.

Yummmmy!
