The
Chocolate Express
Marking
its third year in 2009, the Chocolate Express departs from the
East Ely station on four Saturday evenings: June
6, July 11, August
8, and September 5
at 6:30 p.m.
Join
us as we head up the hill to watch sunset and enjoy chocolate.
Some people don't just "like" chocolate—they are
absolutely, completely, enamored with and addicted to this food,
like no other substance on earth. Quite simply, chocolate makes
them feel good. They put a piece of it in their mouth, close their
eyes, and slowly swoon into euphoria as the sweet, gooey stuff
spreads warmly over their taste buds, caressing their tongue with
sensual texture and deep, rich flavor. It is no accident that
the Latin name for cocoa (Theobroma cacao), from which
chocolates are made, translates as "food of the gods."
Beverages include your choice of ice tea, water, or soda. Beer,
wine, or champagne is extra.
"Research
tells us that 14 out of any 10 individuals like chocolate."
—Sandra Boynton, Chocolate: The Consuming Passion
