How Sweet It Is!

Usually, we have to park our travel trailers in the most distant parking lots.  Not today!
At Hershey's Chocolate World, we were given curbside parking near the front entrance. What a sweet treat!

The 3D interactive movie was more entertaining than we suspected it would be.  Not only were characters stepping off the screen to come near us, but also the scents of Jolly Ranchers and chocolate filled our senses at opportune moments.

We auditioned for roles as chocolate palateers, learning to taste the intricate flavors harbored in different chocolates. Quite interesting! I'll never "chew" chocolate again, but rather, I'll look at it, smell its aroma,  listen to its snap when I break off a piece, and let it melt slowly in my mouth while discerning the complexity of flavors it contains.

A narrated trolley tour of the town gave us newfound respect for the Hersey brand and its founder.  Not only is Milton Hershey an examplar of perseverance in business and in overcoming childhood obstacles, but also his philanthropy made possible through his Hershey candy fortune continues to provide a school and homes for nearly 2000 low income students annually, at no cost to the students.

At every juncture, Hershey ambassadors handed us a piece of chocolate.  No shortage of chocolate here.

Chocolate everywhere!

Wise words
