What really amazed me was the dome. Outside, it just looked like this big gold painted thingy, but inside, it was so beautiful it was heart stopping. On either side there were stone arches with carved flowers. Winding up the sides were pictures of people who made a difference in the world.
But my favorite was the very top of the dome. They had painted it with a picture of the sky and seagulls. The tour guide said the seagulls were 4-6 feet tall! Holding up the balcony were stone columns. I felt like hugging them. Everything was so polished and brightly colored!
After eating lunch, we hopped onto the bus. When we got to the chocolate factory, the delicious aroma of chocolate greeted us. We watched video clips about chocolate and watched workers. We got a sample! Some kids bought candy. This boy spit chewed up candy on me-- how mean is that?
