Last week when I was in Germany I got to go to the Ritter Sport chocolate factory. Ritter Sport is my favorite chocolate and what I found out today makes me like it even more. Turns out, Ritter Sport uses cocoa beans that are both organic and fair trade! They do this by supporting local farmers in Nicaragua. The best part is, you can purchase Ritter Sport chocolate in America.
The train issues, however, continued this weekend as well. the majority of our group decided to go to the beach on Friday. We all booked our train for 6:56 am, but only four of us made it on that train. We had to switch trains and the four of us only made it on that one, by Samantha's hulk-strength prying open the door. Once we got to Ancona, we wandered around for two hours before finding ourselves in a bird sanctuary looking a the ocean from the top of a cliff. We ended up taking the train back to the previous stop and enjoyed the beach in Falconara for about 3 hours.
The remainder of the weekend has been really relaxing. I've gotten to read my book and sleep in. We also went to the local market where I bought green Jasmine pants, yup like the movie Aladdin. They are all the rage in Italy along with wearing Jean on Jean ensembles. We have already seen jean jumpers, jean vests, jean shirts, jean Jasmine pants. jean shorts and even jean wedge heels. Don't worry I wont be bringing that trend back to North Carolina with me. P.S, Congrats to Chelsea Usher who now has a leader dog in training, Tucker! Chek him out @ http://trackintucker.blogspot.com
