10 Memories, 100 Experiences: Memory 1 – Chocolate Fish
Huxley said, “Memories are a man’s private literature.” Memories are private and you never know which ones will be picked up, stored away and treasured. In 1 Year, 10 Projects, 100 Discoveries, ten of the discoveries are memories- fun, sad, happy, I’m not sure what types there will be, but I do know that they will all be treasured. This post is part of that project. You can see all 10 memories here and the entire project here. Enjoy the memories, I am!
This year, I’ve been traveling often for both business and pleasure. When you travel for business, you often travel alone (at least I do). I’ve come to enjoy it. I’m learning how to discover new restaurants, places within cities and connect with the locals. Doing these three things makes every trip memorable.
On my first long trip to Columbus, Ohio I discovered Le Chocoholique. It’s an upscale chocolate boutique in the heart of Short North (Columbus’ downtown). The chocolates there are all made on the premise and unique. There’s even one called the Velvet Elvis made of chocolate, bananas, peanut butter and bacon. Although odd sounding, it tasted amazing. Another favorite was lemon flavored and shaped like Nemo.
In this shop on the corner, I got a real taste of Columbus, midwest hospitality from both the shop owner and customers. One customer even though he was in a rush stayed to talk with me for over ten minutes!
This is one boutique that I’ll be going back to for not only the chocolates but also the people.
