FRIDAY – European Chocolate Festival
You could get these cards that were good for free stuff at certain booths. So it was like trick or treating really. Especially because at one station we got cow horns so we all had a costume too. So we gorged on a lot of chocolate, chocolate bars, chocolate balls, hot chocolate, and chocolate pudding. The hot chocolate was just as thick as the chocolate pudding. So good. I feel really sick right now. Also the world's largest chocolate cow sculpture.

One of the free booth places had all run out but they were playing really great music that little kids were hula hooping to. Shaqira came on and I decided to shake my hips like I used to and one of the guys working there joined in and really showed me up. He is an Elvis of his day.
May have accidentally consumed alcohol as I took a bit of a chocolate ball and bitter liquid exploded in my mouth. Less than delightful. Emily spit hers in the garbage can which was amusing.
Also, ate French fries which I have been craving for ages. These are our cow faces.

Chocolate Hangover.
Watched Bridget Jones’s Diary 2 last night and I love that film. I was admiring how the editing causes you to believe one thing is going on when it is really another. But then someone went and told me about an entirely different twist that had been removen (yes, removen, why not?) by Clean Screen™ which didn’t make sense and grossed me out.
11:32 am
Laying in bed and having deep discussions despite the early hour.
2:56 pm
Stuffed. We had spicy ketchup gnocchi for lunch. Also meatballs that she made me eat one. “it’s good, you won’t feel the meat.” It wasn’t bad, I just don’t like beef in the slightest. Luigia is always trying to trick me into eating meat.
“Pomegranates? Oh, yeah we have tons growing at our country house.” Why don’t I have pomegranate trees in my backyard?!?
My computer is falling apart and I’ve only had it a year and half. Should’ve gotten a Mac.
3:22 pm
Realization(s) hits. My stuff is all over the room and will I have room in my one suitcase to get everything back? Do not really want to be lugging two suitcases all around Croatia after the program. Other realization: I really love white shirts. Third realization: how good would chocolate covered pomegranate seeds be? Only one way to find out… Fourth realization: really excited to have my own kitchen again.
Sunday
Taught Sunday school today and survived. I have wanted to be a Sunday school teacher since I was about 15 and would try and teach when our teacher was late or didn’t show up. This time it was legal and I enjoyed it.
Yesterday we went on this insane bowling excursion that ended up taking six hours. We went with the ward though and it was great because watching Italians bowl is quite hilarious. There were high fives all around on many, many occasions.

Also, the city was called Poggibonsi, so that alone was worth it.
On busses/trains and while waiting for busses/trains I asked Lynzie if I could be her manager and she said yes. I plan on taking this role very seriously and will get her lots of gigs. And then talk all her money when she’s not looking. Kidding about that last bit.
