Wine and Cheese

So Germany basically has some of the most awesome foods I've ever tasted. Yesterday afternoon I went to the Lindt factory and outlet with some of the kids from the program. Walking into a supermarket-sized room where the entire place is stocked with nothing but chocolate was probably one of the most exciting things I've done. I couldn't even begin to see all of the types of chocolate in that store; however, I did take advantage of the insanely cheap prices and stocked up with pomegranate-chili, black current, and assorted speciality chocolates.

After that experience we all walked back down to Ponstrasse (we were all so pumped full of sugar that it was a damn good we were walking) where we met some other people and went to a cheese store near the Humboldt-Haus. We ordered two cheese platters and a bottle of wine, both of which were incredible. Some of the cheese was a little sketchy-looking at first, and the pickled vegetables didn't look awesome, but after a taste-test it was definitely some of the best food I've eaten yet, especially the cheeses.

Stuffed with good food, some of us went for a walk to the park where we slept, talked, and enjoyed an awesome day for a few hours. We finished off the day by going to the market near my place and making a beef-vegetable-rice creation.
