Got Willow off at 6:30 am. She is headed for Albuquerque tonight. Her car is much lighter today than yesterday😀. Safe travels everyone. I’m at SLC airport now. Anxious to see everyone.

Started my journey today! Rental car is packed to the gills (though I would say about half is being unloaded at Ruth’s 😂)

Lost track of who asked for The Chocolatiers Kitchen, but I am happy to bring mine since I'm driving down from Arkansas

I was the one who asked for it, but it's totally up to you. If it feels like a burden, don't worry about it. I took pictures of the ones I'm interested in making. Willow said she has some pictures of the book on her iPad too. I just thought it was a good resource in case others would like to try recipes from it—but again, if it's a burden, don't worry about it. I'm sure there will be plenty of ideas.

Finding TCF will be a bit of a challenge. Just remember it is in Building 2 unit D. It is a complex with many building, not well marked. It faces the fence near the U-Haul building.

Not sure what's going on but every time I try to upload the photo of Ruth and I it uploads upside down 🙄, so no photo. Made it to Albuquerque, excited to be done driving for the day.

 

@RanaMN forgot my iPad so won't have it with me...

We just checked this place out. It's about 6 miles to our hotel in a strip mall. It's a bean to bar Ecuadorian chocolate shop. It's a simple little place. The owners are from Ecuador. They make bars and bonbons. (No color and only dark chocolate). In case anyone wants to check it out.

Can't wait to see everyone tomorrow! Also we just stopped by at the central market, Ruth wasn't joking when she said they have a whole wall of chocolate. We went to the one on Lamar. Kate Weiser has bonbon boxes there and her 35 count box was almost  half price on sale! Definitely great selections of chocolates!
