chocolate factories

there are 2 chocolate factories practically in my backyard and i haven't been to either of them! that's just criminal. both charles chocolates and scharffen berger have free tours and samples - yum!! even my work is next to the ghirardelli factory in san leandro. the smell of chocolate in the air is intoxicating.

if chocolate's not your bag, check out the jelly belly factory less than an hour away in fairfield. the temptations are too great!!
