This weekend I ended up staying in Verona again. It was the most perfect weather, mid-upper 50s and sunshine....it couldn't have been more lovely. My favorite part of the weekend was the Chocolate Festival that went on from Thursday-Sunday. In the main Piazza of town, there were 50 booths set up of all different chocolate makers. Some made chocolate pastries, some had truffels and fruit covered in chocolate. There was a cute one that had chocolate formed to look like cheese wheels and little chocolate mice on them. Another one of my favorites was a man making big sculptures out of chocolate. Needless to say it was wonderful, and I had my fill of delicious chocolate for awhile!
My friend Dana and I went exploring yesterday around the area where we live. It was wonderful to just walk around and find new places. We were so inspired by the weather that we decided to have a BBQ for dinner last night! We made fresh corn salsa and hot dogs. The choices were a little limited on what we could buy for a BBQ, but it was delicious all the same.
This week I have class until Wednesday and then Thursday morning we are leaving for Ireland! I'm really excited about the trip, and even more excited that when I get back, only have a day until I get to see my daddy and Alex! I'm so excited!!!!
Ciao for now!
