More chocolate with a side of sugar

(Computer is fixed, and even though I'm back home, I had one last blog that never got posted. So, here it is to end my international trip #2.)

I think I've gained weight since I've been in Madrid. In France I lost weight because I ate as little as possible due to the high prices. Here, I've been eating like royalty. As well, in most places, every time you order a coffee, you receive a piece of chocolate with it. So, a cup of coffee with lunch and dinner equals 2 chocolates a day, and then this doesn't include all the other chocolate devoured.

I also never realized how many varieties of chocolate that could be made. In Spain, you have a continuum of chocolate varieties, all depending on the percentage of cacao. The best part is that when you order a cup of hot chocolate, they serve it with a sugar packet on the side for garnish.

With all the sugar, butter and chocolate in this city, I don't know how more people aren't overweight.
