Sprüngli chocolate!

When you're in Geneva, Switzerland, you just can't avoid buying all that yummy chocolate. The small box of gianduja was gone almost instantly. Oh-so-good-it-was! But I still have 2 bags of chocolate left. My stash that won't last too long...

UPDATE on the hurricane

The electricity was off for 24 hours and is finally back, so we're good now. The airport will open tomorrow, so we can fly to Europe. Phew, the stressful week is over now!

Update on the update:
What hurricane? When it reached us at 3 am, I slept like a baby and didn't hear a thing. Jeff said it was an Armageddon but I had no idea. Anyway, we are OK. No damage to the house, only the same young tree that fell last year fell again. And we lost electricity - it's been 11 hours now that we are without it. At least there is internet on my phone. We took a short ride around the area. There are some floods, fallen trees and branches, and no electricity but overall it looks better than the last year.

Irma

Does the bullet hit the same place twice? This is getting funny, really. Last year, just before we flew to Europe, the hurricane Matthew hit our area and the airport was closed, so we missed the flight. This year, just days before we have to fly to Europe, the hurricane Irma heads to Florida. Nice! And while last year's hurricane Matthew was only category 2, Irma is category 5 (the strongest).
My enjoyment from living in Florida grows by the day!
*a Homeric laughter goes here*
