The Miracle of the Chocolate Fazenda

We like to call this day the Miracle of the Chocolate Fazenda. There were two miracles we experienced this day. We had been driving for 2 hours or so and were just about to give it up and go home. We stopped to get gas and the first miracle happened. R asked for directions... no that was not the miracle. The miracle was the gas attendant told us we were close and gave us directions and she was actually giving us legitimate directions. The second miracle was R was able to understand the directions, therefore getting us to the chocolate farm. We were so proud and excited to actually be at our final destination. .

To finish off the day a sweet treat from the Chocolate Store.

Enjoying..

Every last bite!

We loved looking around this store.

We ended up with a giant size loaf of bread, some homemade raspberry jam,

garlic and onion flavored nuts and a few other treats.
All in all a really fun day!
