Chocolate Making in Roatan Sampling both the milk and dark chocolates

Chocolate Making in Roatan

Today's adventure was about chocolate.

I'm grinning because those that know me know how much I love chocolate. The Celebrity Constellation docked in Roatan, Honduras and about twenty of us took a mini bus to Carambola Gardens, where we learned about chocolate.

We saw the cacao trees and the pods that hold the cacao beans.We tasted the raw product, rubbed some pure organic cocoa butter into our hands and then set about breaking open the roasted nibs to remove the cocoa from the shell.

Next we ground the cocoa, then watched as our guide tempered the chocolate. She first brought the temperature up on the stove, then set the pan inside a bowl of ice. We added powdered sugar and some melted cocoa butter, and finally poured it into a candy mold.

While the candy was setting, we sampled some of the melted chocolate with some fresh banana slices. This was followed by a stroll through the Gardens and then lunch. Our finished candy was our dessert.

LA Marathon hotel stay.
I was looking for a very specific hotel room to stay in after running the LA Marathon for the very first time. I was looking for a room that had a jacuzzi in the room not just a jacuzzi tub but a big one. I had searched for about two hours myself online and could not find one. The next morning Christy found one for me in just a few minutes because of the access that she has to a special database of hotels. I stayed at the hotel and enjoyed that night and the next morning a Jacuzzi bath with plenty of Epsom salts and felt great the next day with no muscle pain. Christy is amazing.
