A Chocolate Covered Perugia



This weekend I took a short trip to Perugia to visit a friend and to see the largest chocolate festival in Italy- Eurochocolate.

Perugia is a quaint medieval city in Umbria, almost right in the center of Italy. It has a beautiful view which on clear days you can see all the way to Assisi, and there are little hidden narrow streets everywhere.

This weekend the quaint, medieval, university city was swarming with people. There was chocolate everything. Chocolate kebabs, chocolate sculptures, chocolate cards, chocolate computers, chocolate lamps, chocolate running down the drains and the smell of chocolate in the air.

There was also every kind of chocolate: violet, rose, cannabis, orange, straw
berry, almond, hazelnut, cinnamon, cayenne, rum, anise, mint, coconut, raspberry, coffee, banana,...

Apart from indulging in such a delicious treat, I met some of the nicest gir
ls and enjoyed eating Neapolitan style pizza, walking around Perugia, making English pancakes, and just hanging out
