Chocolate defined, chocolate divine!!!

Chocolateria San Churro, QV Melbourne
Yummy Spanish doughnuts dipped with rich thick chocolate, heavenly!

Hot chocolate baci, irresistable!

The first mouthful, with due care because it was hot!

What satisfaction, for all to see! If you love chocolate, you'll love San Churro!!!

Happy chocolate lovers, obviously....

The San Churro story:

In 1528 Hernan Cortes brought the decadent Aztec tradition of chocolate to Spain. So precious was this gift that only the monks were allowed to manufacture chocolate strictly for the Spanish aristocracy. The head monk, San Churro, witnessed many miracles of chocolate including the healing of the Queen of Spain and made it his life's work to spread the 'secret' of chocolate across Europe.And so began the legend of San Churro...

"Chocolate is your salvation" so it says.....

A weekend at St. Kilda......

St. Kilda beach front

in front of the St. Kilda bath house

Looking out into Port Philip Bay

strolling on the boardwalk

the bay, the beach, the boardwalk...... in a relaxing afternoon

a windy yet sunny day

Luna Park

a St. Kilda icon

the merry-go-round

so many people, so noisy, so many things to play, so much fun....I am confused!
