The Chocolate Museum, the Zoo and the rain

Today we went to the Chocolate Museum and the Zoo. 

At the Chocolate Museum, we saw many interesting sculptures made of chocolate.  We also learned about the history of chocolate. 

Did you know that when people used to fast, they used to drink unsweetened chocolate. When we finished the museum, we stopped at the stop and drank pure hot chocolate.  I thought it was a little bitter but my Mom loved it.  After we finished our chocolate, we went to the zoo.

At the zoo, we saw animals we don't have at our zoo like a Tapir, Flamingos, and much, much more.  When we were heading back through the zoo, we encountered a little difficulty.  It started to rain.  We stood out the rain, under cover until it slowed down.

After the zoo, we walked through the old section which was cool, because it was built before there were cars.

Then we went to the Boqueria, which is similar to the Seattle Pikes Place Market.  We got fruit, bread, cheese and other stuff for dinner there.

On our way back, we walked along Las Ramblas and saw street performers.  There were huge demons, fat ladies, statues and a trained white mouse who did flips and bowed.

Back at our hotel, we had a picnic with leftovers and the foods we got from the market.  I'm stuffed now and just want to sit back and watch Spanish cartoons, even though I can't understand what they are saying.
