One of the cool things about the city we live in is that it really is a mix of two different worlds... Yesterday I was having a bad day... a mix of being pregnant :) and things not going quite right... so Adam decided to take me out to have some fun :) I haven't been able to go out much because if I get just a little bit hot, then I get sick (I'm sure you guys already know that though... I've mentioned that a lot - sorry....)... Well, around 5:00 pm it was feeling great outside, so Adam and I left to go to a cool Gardens area...
This garden area was established in the 15th-16th century by the Sayyids and Lodis - so it's really old.. there are tombs and old ruins all over... there were parrots, crazy chirping birds, and lots of grass!!
Well, we got there and it was starting to get dark... we wanted to take some pictures... so we pulled out the tripod and adjusted it and finally got it ready... we took the first picture (which didn't turn out very well) and one of the park guards came up to us and told us that we can't use a tripod in the park - what?? So, needless to say, we only got one picture... here it is below:
So after our failed picture attempt and a couple of games of cards, we decided to go to a market area that was close by and eat some dinner... one of our favorite restaurants (The Big Chill) is in that market and actually makes western food that tastes western - it's great! We had dinner there and noticed a new place next to it called Chocola... Well, we just had to check it out... We walked inside and MAN - it really was like another world in there!... It was fancy! They had TONS of chocolates and chocolate choices on their menu - it was sooo cool and super fancy! In the pic below you can see Adam with one of the chocolates he ordered. In the background you can see those lighted boxes (that look like fancy jewelry displays)... those are the boxes that hold the different chocolates they make - super fancy!
No little chocolates for me though... this pregnant woman needed some chocolate yesterday!!! OK, picture this... homemade chocolate ice cream, with chocolate fudge sauce on top, with chocolate pieces, and chocolate covered almonds - all on top of homemade chocolate chip cookie... Are you ready for this?? Check out what I got!!! Oh, and it was only about $3 :)
It's cool to live in a city that's so old, but yet has some really new things too... it's pretty fun :) YUM!

The chocolate looks INCREDIBLE! Is this blog post paybacks for the
chocolate covered stove I posted?
