Salon d Chocolate

One of the highlights of our trip,was the Salon du Chocolat in Paris.
Salon Du Chocolat
Fabulous fashion show with dresses made of chocolate.
An unbelievable amount of inventive chocolate samples, and products for sale.
I couldn't look at chocolate for a week after.

These were all hand painted by an artist to represent chocolate around the world.

Paris with Trevor

Trevor took 5 days off from studying to join me on a trip to Paris.
We stayed at this lovely hotel in Saint Germain on the left bank.

Our room

We loved the boulangerie down the street with the best quiche and cappuccinos.

International Swap!

Two of my favourite, talented, blogger friends have organized an International Swap.
In fact, if it wasn't for their encouragement, I wouldn't have started a blog.

Monika Wright from  I Love It All
and Sophie Chapman from French Home Made
They need just a couple more swappers before the cut-off date of October 4th.
Here's the post: International Swap
I hope you'll join in.

I can't wait for the swap, and may mail my package from Europe.
Next week I'm visiting my son, Trevor, who is going to medical school in Budapest, Hungary.

We're planning a visit to Paris the following week.
It happens to be Salon du Chocolate, so those we know me, know I can't miss that!
