Why Travel?
There are lots of good reasons not to travel. There’s the
expense, the time stuck in those cramped middle seats on airplanes and the long
lines waiting for TSA people to search through your underwear for explosives.
Then there’s the annoyance when you can’t get a wireless connection so you can
look at silly pictures and blog posts. Oh no! Not the blog posts! But today I’m
going to give you the best reason to travel: Chocolate.
In Koln (Cologne), Germany is an enormous chocolate museum. It is right on the river, and easy to find. You can learn the history of chocolate’s origin in Meso-America and you get to sample the stuff right where it’s made. The Lindt people have set up a factory inside the museum and they pass out samples. Narda claims I pushed my way into a line of children to get my sample but it’s not true. Go there and smell the heavenly odor of the stuff and you’ll discover why it’s worth standing in the airport lines. The Belgians make awfully good chocolate as well. The Bear in this picture was captured in Brugge (Bruges) in Belgium.
