Eurochocolate!!

i did two really fun things this weekend: fonclea & eurochocolate!

fonclea is a live band club/restaurant. i went with a group of people and it was a lot of fun. a few of us got there early to get a table and we got a table right in fron
t of the band. we had appetizers and drinks. i had a margharita which was really weird, haha. the band we heard was a cover band for the Bee Gees. they were re
ally really good and it was a lot of fun! at the very end we started a dance party which was crazy. it was just a really fun night :]
sunday i went to eurochocolate in perugia! i went with my friend laura and we left rome at 8 on a packed train (we sat/stood in between cars). we got there around 10:30/11. it was easy to get to the festival because there were people telling us what we should do and everyone there was going to eurochocolate. we spent around 3 hrs. there. it was so huge! there was soooooo much chocolate!! i tried this cake thing with fruit and churros with chocolate, they were really good! my favorite was italian hot chocolate...omg...i got dark chocolate and it was so warm and it was also thicker than our hot chocolate. it was the best! also i tried this white chocolate piece of chocolate with grains or rice cakes and it was my next favorite thing. i bought 2 gifts and dark chocolate filled with banana for myself. the coolest thing i saw there was chocolate sculptors. perugia has a chocolate school.
so these students were scuplting things from huge blocks of chocolate. they used sculpting tools, axes, and a drill-yes a power drill. we even had to shield ourselves from the chocolate that was being sculpted off!

we didnt actually stay there long enough to see what they sculpted but it was really cool. you had to push and shove to get near the sculptor's assistants because they were giving away the chunks of chocolate that were sculpted off from the blocks of chocolate, yummy! it was an exhausting day because i basically traveled all day because we got back around 8 something but it was a lot of fun!

THIS WEEKEND I'M GOING TO PARIS AND PRAGUE, AHHH!!!
