While in Rome, I stayed in Trastevere. It is a district in Rome that is actually said to be one of the old neighbourhoods in Rome. But, if you ask me everywhere in Rome is an old neighbourhood. Trestevere is a place that they say travellers fall in love with. From it's cobblestone streets to the hanging laundry inbetween the buildings, Trastevere is rich in pubs, restaurants and clubs as well as many small stores. This week however it has been populated with chocolate. Yes. Chocolate. And every kind of chocolate you can imagine.
The Chocolate Festival in Trastevere, although not huge did pack a pretty big punch if you ask me. Rows and rows of chocolate, dark, light, white, with nuts with no nuts, in the shape of shoes, cameras, tools and yes even teeth.
And so of course we did have to sample a few of the delectable goodies.

Yum!! Sign me up. But seriously, Italy sounds like dangerous territory. Delicious food at every turn. The walking is a definite must to keep a good balance.
Back home it's still pretty mild. -2, -5, etc for daytime highs. A little bit of snow but nothing like last year yet. I'm still able to walk in the mornings too which is great. 16 more sleeps till India.
Have fun in India! I want to hear all about it...I have never been so would love to hear all your stories. Glad that it's not to cold in Alberta!
