Yes, here we are in France! Well, Epcot's version of France. The trees behind us had little white flowers on them and the wind was blowing them off and they would flutter down like snow. It was so magical, so Disney!
Yesterday we spent the day at Disney's Epcot and had a great time visiting all of the "countries". We really needed a little getaway and it was a lot of fun. We thought it would be neat to eat something from each country so we started with lunch in Mexico. It was okay, not my favorite. Chris liked the tacos though. We then went to Norway for a cinnamon and raisin pretzel with icing, that was tasty. I also met a friend in Norway. He's kind of cute don't you think?
From there we traveled on to China. We were still full from Mexico and Norway so we decided to try some Chinese candy. It was interesting to say the least. It was some kind of taffy but it tasted like the wax wrapper melted into the candy.
Germany was next and although I would have liked to have bought some chocolates, it was in the 90s and so we thought it might not last too long. I grabbed some mixed candy and I really liked one of the hard candies. It was cola flavored and it fizzed in my mouth, fun and tasty!=)
Italy was our next stop. We had dinner here (later in the day) at the famous Alfredo's. OMG!!! The trip to Epcot is totally worth it if you only eat the fettuccine alfredo. They invented it!! The original restaurant is in Italy and they opened one in New York and in Epcot. You can watch them make the pasta from scratch. I can't even eat it anywhere else now. I can't settle! It was unbelievably delicious! You must go!! Now, hurry!!
Okay moving on.... here I am in "Italy". Does this photo make me look freakishly tall?
I think Japan was next. We got some candy here too. They had so many interesting kinds. We got some mixed candy in a bag and a pack of some kind of chewy candy. It was citrus in flavor but it had little pieces of gummy in it so the texture was really odd. I guess they're into gummies there since most all of the candy was of that type. Chris got a Japanese soda. He hasn't tried it yet because he wanted to wait until we could cool it down in the fridge. It's weird, it has a marble in it.
Here's a pic of all of the candy and another one with me by a building.
Okay so after all of that candy we ditched the idea of eating something from every country thing. Besides, the U.K, France and Canada was next and we didn't think we were missing out on too much. Ooops, I forgot Morocco. We didn't get anything from there to eat either.
Here's a pic of Chris and I by the "falls" in "Canada".
We did manage to make it onto a few rides. The lines were horrific! It was over a 2 hour wait for Test Track, which is probably the best ride at the park. We skipped it and Soarin' had an 80 minute wait so we skipped that too. It's not that great of a ride anyway. I think they should call it "Snorin'"! =) We were so tired from walking the park that we needed a rest so we went on Ellen's Energy Adventure. I really did catch some Z's on this "ride". It was a nice 37 minute rest. We also did Spaceship Earth and the new Living Seas ride with Nemo. That was a 45 minute wait but worth it to see all of the sea creatures. I fell in love with a cuttlefish. They kind of look like squids. One of them was seriously following me and watching me. When I put my face real close to the tank he turned real dark in color and backed off. They have human-like eyes. Very cool creatures. The sea turtles were huge as were the manatees and the dolphins were cute of course. Our last ride was the monorail. We took it around the park as we waited for our bus to pick us up. It was a great day.
