Chocolate

2/6/09 Chocolate Festival

Weather - A little cooler but blue sky, 65.

Today we stopped by the Glendale Chocolate Festival in old downtown Glendale.
Lots of free samples of chocolate from the vendors but also a large number of other fair type food vendors - funnel cakes, crepes, sausage sandwiches, etc.
Photos can be clicked on to enlarge.
After sampling a few things some excercise to walk it off seemed to be in order. The developers here seem to put in large pre-planned neighborhoods and developments. They clear maybe a couple hundred of acres, put in streets and utilities and then the walls surrounding the home properties first and then they build the homes. It seems that the commercial facilities such as small strip shopping centers are also part of the plan.
One of the nice things they do is include green spaces with plenty of walking trails. Below are photos of some of the areas in Tracy and Anjan's neighborhood.



Notice the green grass and no white stuff on top.
