Adventures: 2009 - Hershey, Pennsylvania

Time for another quick trip to the past and talk about my adventure to Hershey, PA!!!

Home Of Every Chocolate Lover's Dream City :-)

I took a short visit to Hershey, PA in Feb 2009 and took a few quick pics. This town is definitely worth taking a detour for if you are anywhere in the area.

As you drive into Hershey, the most prominent landmark is the amusement park: Chocolate World: It was closed when I went by, but then again it was February so a perfect time for it to be updated.

Driving toward the Hershey plant, you are pleasantly surprised by the thoroughness the city goes through to ensure you experience the full Chocolate effect:

Hershey Kisses Lamp Posts line the street going up to the plant. Both wrapped and unwrapped. It is soooo cool to see that!

The Hershey plant itself looks much like any other plant. 

 

But the real treat is just down the street at the Hershey Chocolate museum and store! 

Of course there is the Hershey Chocolate gift shop and the requisite memorials of all things chocolate there... but there comes the time when you just have to sample some of the yummiest chocolate there is and this is the place to do it...

The chocolate samples come best in trays of 6! Each generous sample glass represents a chocolate from different regions of the world. Starting with bitter chocolate and ending with the smooth sweetness that is the world favorite milk chocolate.

And as is usually the case in such visitor friendly places, the staff is friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and generally the best there is!

I bid adieu to Hershey, Pa with fond memories of the deliciousness that it is.... :-P
