I have to admit that I was a little weary about the International Festival. I think it was a mixture of anxiety and anticipation that made me consider not even showing up. But my friend Lea, who worked so hard with me to make the chocolate could not be let down, and I was glad I went through with it. That Saturday I woke up at 5:30 in the morning to finish the last details. Loaded the car up and drove to the Fairgrounds not knowing what to expect...That day I found great satisfaction in having people appreciate something that I worked so hard to offer them. The same feeling a mom feels when she prepares a new recipe for dinner and all her family really enjoys it. I have to say that have lived in different cities in the United States; cities that are considered more metropolitan and culturally diverse such as Los Angeles and Miami. I was pleasantly surprised of the reception I received from the people of Columbia. Most of the people were really friendly, and curious about Brazil and myself, and super supportive about my chocolates and desserts. I have to say that YOU made this festival well worth it for me. Thank you!
