#48 Chocolate

So here's the thing. Five of us flew to Philadelphia for a week of unabashed tourism. Just to let you know what's coming for the next I-don't-know-how-many-days. I took over 800 pix - filled up my memory card.

We had to take a side trip to Hershey, Pennsylvania and pay tribute to chocolate consumerism. I'm thinking two parents plus kids might get out of the attraction under $100, even without any admission fees (like Disneyland).

Yes, that's a five pound Hershey bar. It only costs $40 plus shipping. It's too big and heavy to fit into the suitcase. A gift for her DH.

Mom and sons outside the entrance. We had so much fun!

#357 What is That?

What is that? That is a photo of the mirror on the ceiling above the world's largest chocolate fountain at the Jean Phillipe Patisserie in the Bellagio Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada. I know it's the world's largest because the sign says so. Also the Guinness Book of World Records says so. It's hard to make it out in this photo because you are looking at the bottom and reflected top of the glass bowls which form the fountain.
The fountain is behind glass. I was hoping for a fondue arrangement like I experienced at a banquet once. Chocolate dipped banana - yummmm. Alas, no sampling.

This was on my must-see list. Success! (In case you are wondering why I didn't choose the Chocolate theme for this, I have other places in mind.)
