TEN NEW SHOES: “Settling into a new country is like getting used to a new pair of shoes. At first they pinch a little, but you like the way they look, so you carry on. The longer you have them, the more comfortable they become. Until one day without realizing it you reach a glorious plateau. Wearing those shoes is like wearing no shoes at all. The more scuffed they get, the more you love them and the more you can't imagine life without them.” ― Tahir Shah, In Arabian Nights

Chocolate Wall
Flag Day stole the show this Valentine's Day, but My Man planned a delicious surprise for me the next day: a chocolate tour of Dupont Circle (a DC neighborhood). Seriously, what could be better? We started at a nice little bakery where we had hot chocolate and croissants. Then we walked from place to place sampling all sorts of delicious chocolates, from ice cream to donuts to truffles to chocolate bars to cupcakes to European drinking chocolate to. . . you get the idea.
Our guide said his goal was to make us "hit the chocolate wall," the point where you cannot even fathom eating another bite of chocolate anything. . . . I don't think that point exists for me. I enjoyed every single bite. Thank you Love. It was a wonderful Valentine's Day. (I got him Superman cufflinks with a matching tie clip because really, he is awesome, and he needed some accessories to go with his Superman tie!)
