Hello, there!

Our first trip of the year was buying chocolates somewhere in Palencia, Spain. As a side trip, we stopped by the Monastery of San Isidro which is on the other side of the choco factory and store. This was where the original choco recipe came from. First made by the the Trappist monks.

It was a foggy and very cold day and I was a shivering a bit because I didn´t wear something thick but the travel and sights were worth it. That small box on the upper right hand corner of the mosaic photo contains the remains of the Beatified Rafael Arnaiz, one of the Trappist monks who led an exemplary life.

This was what I wore:

The monastery and it´s grounds were huge. We were able to take a peak inside the small chapel and at the farthest right of the photo which can´t be seen below is the main entrance to the church.

Below is the reason for the trip, to buy chocolates and other chocolatey goodies from this store. They sell hot choco too and ´to go with it a couple of biscuits!  Isn´t that yummy?

And the most delicious part of the post?  The mouth watering goodies which you can see below:  

This box wasn´t actually what we bought during the trip. We bought this after Christmas at the supermarket. lol!  During the trip, we bought 3 small boxes  of assorted bonbons and choco biscuits but since I wasn´t able to take a photo of the loot, this will do for now.  

So what about you? Do you like choco hunting trips too?

xoxo,

Che

PS: Later, we drove over to Palencia, but that would need another post.
