Our Off Day







TOP: Tom and Kathy spend yet ANOTHER lunch drinking margaritas. Patron stock was up 5 points for the week.
2nd: Laraine in chocolate factory touring gear. In true fashion, she was able to help them make a better brand of chocolate leveraging her culinary knowledge
3rd: The chocolate factory we toured.

We elected to take an "off day" from the bike race today, and did a tour of the Scharffen-Berger chocolate factory, along with a tasting. Kinda like the winery, but the results effect your thighs instead of your liver. The factory was quite cool, but Tom got asked to leave for dipping his hands in the chocolate vats. You have to watch him every minute. Laraine had lunch with the head chocolater, and by the end she had been offered a job, and given a plaque for her contribution to "The World of Chocolate".

Kathy disappeared mid-tour, and, low and behold, didn't we find her and Tom at yet another Mexican restaurant, sipping margaritas. We're going to put invisible fence collars on the two of them going forward, as they're just impossible to keep track of.

Tomorrow, we'll drive US1 along the coastline, just ahead of the bike race.
