Dana and I conquering The Troll - a famous sculpture under a bridge in Fremont. We passed the troll on the way to the chocolate factory. You may recognize him from "10 Things I Hate About You," but if you're curious, here's more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fremont_Troll
Our chocolate tour for the day - Theo Chocolate! The ONLY organic, fair trade chocolate factory in the U.S. Let me tell you - they have amazing chocolate. Learn more about their company here: http://www.theochocolate.com/
Theo artwork.
Zoe and Zach - kids that Natalie nanny's for - learning about the chocolate-making process.
Sweet Katrina - a friend of my roommates' Dana and Natalie from college. She is the reason I went roller skating a couple of days ago as part of her birthday celebration. She works for Theo and let us into her tour for free *shhh*
Stephen at the chocolate factory in the process of making their "Dark Chocolate with Mint" bar.
More scraping.
Passing around samples of the "Fig, Fennel, and Almond Dark Chocolate"
More free chocolate - I just had to try their "Peanut Butter and Jelly" confection. Made from organic raspberry preserves and real peanut butter, then covered in milk chocolate. Amazing.
Though a little blurry, this is an example of some of the crazy flavors at Theo: "Ghost Chile Caramel." Apparently this is made with the hottest chile peppers in the world. THE WORLD.
Natalie, me, Dana, and our tour guide, Katrina. Sporty lovely hair nets after the tour.
