SWEET TIMES—Being low watt, I forego the San Diego Natural History Museum’s exhibits on Pre-hispanic
roadrunners, who survived the machine age.
But this year, The Nat is on a roll.
They nabbed a boatload of visitors with its popular spring to fall
“Titanic” exhibition. Now, they parlay
that success with a timely holiday exhibition simply called “Chocolate.”

Suggested reading before trekking to The Nat in San Diego’s
famed Balboa Park is a Smithsonian Magazine article: “The Brief History of
Chocolate.”

One very creative re-use of a long outdated chocolate
factory is how Nestle’s helped save London’s old Menier Chocolate Factory and
turned it into a live theatre venue with a chocolate themed restaurant. https://www.menierchocolatefactory.com I will update this site from England later in the Spring.
