I've loved making these blog posts for all three of my followers!!! It has certainly given me something to do on the rare occasion that I felt like writing and sharing my travels.
But I'm putting my blog to bed.
My hubby is retired, our kids are getting married this year, and I'm in search of other creative outlets.
Or... I've just changed my mind about blogging! Who knows?
I'll always be in search of my next big adventure.
And I'll always be in search of the next perfect hot cocoa.
Like Johnny Depp in the move, 'Chocolat', hot cocoa is my favorite way to enjoy chocolate.
I've sampled some of the best in Amsterdam and a variety of other places around the globe.
I can go with the local Starbucks in any given city, like Cologne, Germany.
But I prefer searching out the little funky places.
These two little places in Belgium were a big hit for me.
Going dairy-free (not my choice!!) has made the search a bit tougher.
One of my favorite places of all time was a little Chocolate Cafe in Puerto Rico,
The Choco Bar Cortes. Oh my land. The hot cocoa was made with oatmeal!!
Completely dairy-free and so rich and creamy, I didn't miss the milk.
Though, you cannot beat a sniff of Jamison in any hot cocoa to brighten up the flavor.
Dublin did not disappoint!!
Isn't this little pot sweet? It's from the Cafe al Bacio aboard Celebrity Infinity.
And so, I'll leave you with this.
Enjoy this life you've been given. Search out that which makes you happy.
Fill your days with dreams that can be fulfilled and maybe a few that cannot.
But dream and travel and share and live and love.

p.s. The best so far was in Amsterdam at a Starbucks (of all places) right in the town center.
Check it out for yourself if you don't believe me.
