Aroma Festival

So I knew I hadn’t written in my blog in quite some time, but I went to look at it today, and found that the last entry I wrote was on July 25.  With today being exactly TWO MONTHS later, I figured, what better time to write an entry.

                I apologize to all my avid readers out there!  (Hi, mom)  I’ll try not to keep you guys waiting so long between all my entries. 

                Quite a lot has gone on in the past two months, but I’ll split the major things up into different entries, that way, you’ll have a more to read, and it’ll look like I write in this thing more often.

                The last thing I remember wanting to write about, but never got around to was The Aroma Festival.  It’s a big festival every year in Sydney in The Rocks that celebrates coffee, tea, chocolate and spice from around the world. I know, you can’t go wrong with that combination.

                The Rocks is this area in Sydney with a bunch of shopping and a lot of history.  A lot of old buildings around with a lot to do.  It’s probably one of the most famous places in Sydney because as you walk through the area, to one side of you is the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and on the other is the Sydney Opera House.

The festival was filled with vendors broken up into different areas of the world, The Continent, The Oasis, The Orient and The Latin Quarter.  Each section had a slightly different feel and then all the food and coffee that went along with that region.

                I bought some chocolate covered strawberries, cappuccinos, chai and a whole bunch of other things as well as sampling anything I could get my hands on.  There were also some great food stands serving up cool foods from around the world.  I got a Turkish Gozleme – basically a quesadilla but with dough instead of a tortilla.  It was filled with spinach, cheese and beef and then grilled.

It was a fun day filled with eating and drinking.  What more could you ask for?
