The Well-Timed circa Valentine's Day Chocolate Festival

I'll take a size 14 please....

Yesterday we did a lot of things! Including going to the chocolate festival and getting fat chocolate!

The green thing in the back gave me and Liz chocolate poisoning...
Never take candy from strangers! Especially if it's green!

Chocolate is the word for love in Italian.
That's not true.

Luckily the festival lasts 10 days...

Chocolarte

The only thing better than chocolate and salami is chocolate salami!
(I had the first thing, not the second... as I may have mentioned MY STOMACH REALLY HURTS!!)

So to stop obesity, we decided to climb the Duomo. It's kind of expensive but totally worth the view.

Tiny winding staircases lead you up to the top

Someone painted this!! Way up there!!

We could see our houses, other countries

When we climbed down and my legs shook for about 2 hours. Luckily we got some gelato to calm ourselves down. Which made me shake from cold for about two more hours. Oh well. Then we did some other stuff.

This 99 cent store notebook, accurately named
"animal hand"

Too bad I had already gotten four copies of this notebook.
I'm not going to make any friends at school :(

If only I had a good fall festival back home
that I knew I could wear this to....

This dog has a fur scarf. How fancy is he?!
