All very well and good, but I can testify as an eye witness that both Ashara and Sal almost buckled at the knees when they were introduced - by me - to Roger's Chocolates in Victoria, B.C. They've been making and selling chocolates in this small shop since 1885 - I swear you can gain five pounds just by opening the door and smelling the air. Dark, semi-sweet chocolate, of course ;-) If this isn't an inducement for y'all to visit us here in Victoria, I don't know what could be. Other than meeting me, of course.... Wishing the best of the season to everybody, Roberto ps. I think there's a See's Candies in Portland, Ore. I was directed to it when I first visited Portland in the 80s, and was not disappointed! Yours in chocolate...... _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx
