Salon du Chocolat

Last weekend Paris was hosting "Le Salon du Chocolat". Basically, it was a huge chocolate exposition with big name chocolatiers such as Lindt, Nestle, etc. It was absolutely amazing, Pretty much there was any kind of chocolate that one could ever want. There were also sculptures made out of chocolate. This chocolate TGV (see photo below) took 45 hours to make!!! Holy Cow!!! Lots of the different chocolatiers were giving out free samples. There was chocolate ice cream, amazing chocolates, chocolate margarita's yum!!!!, and even Bailey's Irish Cream, 3 different flavors. Here in Europe, they don't just have Original Baileys, but they have Creme Caramel, and Mint Chocolate. Of course I had to sample all three flavors, and they were amazing. They also had a fashion show with people wearing choolate clothes. That was really cool too. Pretty much, the entire exposistion was devoted ti chocolate and all things chocolate. It was the most amazing experience and well worth the 12 euro ($15) entrance fee.

Hey, whaddya mean, people modeling chocolate clothes? Edible ones? Mmmmm, they wouldn't last long around here. Glad to hear you moved up a level in French and that you're not going to be bored the remainder of the term. PBHC!!!
