Orgasmic Chocolate

Now I have always been a huge fan of chocolate and I have had my fair share of fantastic chocolate dishes, however, I have just had an experience which may top them all (may). My experience was that of "Chocolate con Churros". Some of my new friends at the hostel were going to a Chocolateria that this guy´s friend had recommended as the best one in Madrid so I went with them because I love chocolate and churros are pretty good as well, so chocolate con churros sounded great. :)

Chocolate con Churros is drinkable chocolate with fried pastries (they are long and thin, kind of like straws, and are quite tasty). It was heavenly! I actually almost didn´t finish mine because it was so rich (if you can believe it). But, since it was so darn good and I can´t rationalize leaving something so yummy behind, I did finish my portion. Next time I will be sure to split it with someone else instead of having my own. I have to remember the name of this Chocolateria, because the next time I am in Madrid I will definitely be visiting. It is called "Chocolateria San Gines" and it is just off of the Plaza Major. When you go to Madrid, you have to go there. Bring a friend so you can actually finish your chocolate con churros...and go hungry because they fill you up surprisingly quickly.

Besides my orgasmic experience with chocolate, I also went to see the Van Gogh exhibit at one of the museums. It was great. I really like Van Gogh´s work and it was nice to see pieces that you don´t normally see or hear about. The exhibit was of his last scenes which he painted in the last couple of weeks of his life. Apparently, he painted around 70 pieces in the last weeks of his life, which is truly incredible. The exhibit was beautiful and I am really glad that I sucked it up and paid the $5 to see it. It was better than the Museo del Prado for free. :)
