Dreams come true! This week, my daughters and I, toured a chocolate factory on our last day with our tutor. I think heaven will smell the same as this factory! It was so fun to have a peek around inside. The chocolate produced here in Ecuador is so pure and so delicious and I want to eat it all. We got to sample raw cocao. The woman giving the tour spoke only in fast and quiet spanish and never once looked at me. She only spoke directly to our tutor, Bertha. That was funny to me. At the end we sampled sweet chocolate (and bought some! I need to go back for more!) and warm chocolate water with sugar, which sounds unappealing but was in fact really, really yummy. So we bought some unsweetened chocolate as well. And it was so cheap. We will definitely be returning next week to stock up on more chocolate because it is likely the best I've ever eaten in my life.
