Modica

This past Saturday we took a trip to Modica which is located on the eastern coast of Sicily. Unfortunately my camera had been left on in my bag and was dead so no pictures where taken. This town is known for their chocolate. We visited a small little family owned shop that has been making chocolate for 48 years. The owner showed how he makes the chocolate and then gave us lots of samples of EVERYTHING!!!!! We ate the chocolate, cream puffs, cannolis, orange peels in chocolate, meat cookies and then chocolate liquor. Braydon ate everything except for the liquor and was hyped up on sugar for the next few hours. We bought a few bars of chocolate and now want to go back already and buy more. Their chocolate is nothing like we are used to. It is so natural and you can taste the sugar they use to make it.

After the chocolate shop we headed back home and stopped by the beach to put our toes in the med. Braydon wanted nothing to do with this or even the sand. We need to get him used to the water and beach because I love it and want to take him. After we got home we had dinner with some friends and Braydon could not get enough of the baked beans (we paid for it the next day with his diaper changes). All in all it was a good day and just the start of our traveling we plan to do more of.
