sweet and sour

have you ever seen those "sour then sweet" commercials for sour patch kids?  my day was kind of like that, though in reverse.

it started out with a group of us who took the philadelphia chocolate tour.  it was a walking/tasting tour that showcased a few places in the city while we learned about the history of chocolate and chocolate-making.  it was a nice way to pass a sunny, breezy spring afternoon.

then, on the last leg of the tour, right before we were about to sample 5 different kinds of scrumptious gelato, i leaned over and dropped my camera on the floor.  now i've dropped my camera before, even earlier today (since i'm a known klutz), but this time the screen went pink and is no longer workable.  great, i thought, i couldn't even make this one last a year.  and just in time for my trip with the girls!  so that was the sucky part of my afternoon.

luckily, i was still riding on a sugar high and in such good company that i couldn't be too bummed about it in that moment.  it's hard for me not to be consumed with heartache over my camera (one of my most beloved possessions), but at least some bubble tea and a lovely sushi dinner with my SIL kept me from moping.

so overall, i can say that the day still ended on a good note.
