Puyricard

Right now I’m listening to president’s wife sing about the moon in a silver cup. I wish our government could be this trendy.

This morning a few of the CEAers went to visit Puyricard chocolate factory (check it out: www.puyricard.fr .) Sadly I forgot my camera, not that it would really matter because for security reasons we couldn’t take pictures inside the actual factory.

On the way we talked about how we were excited for the few bites of chocolate we might get, if any, and how delicious they would be. Once we got into the factory we were pleasantly surprised at the amount of chocolate that was consumed. Each time something was shown to us of explained we were given a piece of cream, dark chocolate, the body of a broken Easter bunny (lapin de Pâques) or something of that sort. The tour was very interesting and all in French. After the tour we reconvened in a meeting room where a plate was brought out that contained all different types of chocolate for our enjoyment. There was a myriad of pieces which eventually led to a sugar stomach ache, but it was well worth it. I actually got to eat a piece that was decorated with a gold flake, I felt so classy. (If someone puts pictures online I will steal them and put them here)

Class commenced at 2 and it was arduous and boring. I hate it more than class at home I think, I always feel so stupid. I’m definitely in over my head, but I’m sure I’ll get used to it.
