I recently went to the 2nd annual International Chocolate Festival
that was held at the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in the Coral
Gables suburb of Miami Florida in January 2008.

At first we walked around the garden before heading back to the
festival to taste all the free samples from the chocolatiers at the
event. Everyone was obviously smiling at the event that day.

I uploaded the pictures from the visit to this gallery:

If you live in South Florida, I highly recommend spending a day at the
Fairchild garden. It's worth the 20 dollars price of admission even if
there isn't a special event taking place.

Cheers,

Beautiful photos- sounds like a glorious day! I'm just wondering if
there were melting problems from the heat? Tempering would be a PIA,
too...
