1. Nice Doc Photos
But damn it. Now I have a strong desire for chocolate.

San Fran? It's been decades since I was last there. Still have the wonderful images and smells of walking the piers in the early morning locked away in my memories. When I was a morning person.

3. Doc umentary
Or it could be a reference to a certain Bunny who was fond of the phrase "What's up Doc?". Not sure. It's one of those.

You documented an event. You captured an action. You made me want chocolate.

6. Don't get the Godiva milk chocolate. It will ruin you for
all other chocolate, even Ghirardelli. I have some 72% Ghirardelli in the pantry right now, but my heart belongs to Godiva

10. I haven't been over there
in years. I don't think the factory was open to the public the last time I was there. This certainly looks worth making the trip.

Very cool photos!

:hi:

12. Thanks, Mz Pip! This machinery is actually located in the Ice Cream and Chocolate Shop
it's against the back wall of the place. This is some of the original machinery, and I suspect it is there primarily for tourist interest (although they obviously use it). I don't know about the regular production facility. :hi:
