The topic of multiples reminded me of the last time I was in Italy. I took lots of pictures of one of my favorite subjects – chocolate! Not surprisingly I had many pictures to choose from. And since I’m reasonably sure pictures of chocolate don’t have any calories, here they are.
Chocolate should probably be purchased in multiples too.
Just when you thought you’d bought enough souvenirs from a trip to Italy, there’s one more opportunity at the airport shops. Here are all the designers you somehow missed in Florence or Milan, as well as duty-free shops for things like candy or perfume. And since you’ve checked your luggage, why not get a few more keepsakes to carry on the plane? What’s surprising is that I couldn’t find anywhere to buy one last gelato (and I really looked).
I discovered this market while I was in Philadelphia last month. It was around noon and I was getting hungry, so I walked through the Reading Terminal Market searching for a place to eat lunch. Let’s just say there was lots of food here!
There were plenty of places to sit down for a sandwich (or anything else you might want for lunch). And there was a variety of other things to buy, from candy to fresh vegetables. I had a great time strolling through the market and looking at the booths. Here is some of what I saw:
Chocolate is something that many people enjoy receiving as a gift. However, I’ve found that chocolate rarely makes it back to the people who might have liked it. This is because I can’t stop thinking about the delicious chocolate bars sitting in my suitcase, and I really can’t resist them. It’s almost a relief when I’ve eaten them. Then I can think about something else to take back as a gift.
