Trip to Paris - day 1

In the morning after our arrival and settling in the nice and cozy apartment, we set off on our adventure. 

The breakfast had to be in a local cafe of course. Croissant and a cup of coffee will do. 

We found a nice cafe with artistic atmosphere and beautiful paintings in the local area - Latin Quarter. 

The price of course is a bit of a shock in the beginning (in this one coffee was 3,70 euro and croissant was 1,60), but you just have to accept - you're in Paris. That's why you pay more.

It was truly worth it. It was beautiful. The day had started.

Chocolate aroma fills the street

It is so nice to live oposite the main chocolate factory in Latvia, but all through the summer I didn't feel particularly the famous scent.

But now, as the weather is getting colder, it somehow intensifies the smell, I guess, so this morning as I was walking down the street I felt like in Paris where there is "boulangerie" on every corner and the smell of fresh pastries and coffee and chocolate is in the air.

There's something charming about chocolate.

Maybe that's why one of my friends has created a "Chocolate Boutique" http://www.chocolate-events.lv/ - items created around and about theme of chocolate, but not eatable. Chocolate-like looking hair pins, jewelry, and even children fashion. It all looks so stylish.

What is your association and feelings about chocolate? Does it bring up positive, special emotions?
