Eating Around the World: Week 2

This is going to be a quick post since I really need some sleep before work tomorrow, but I wanted to get it up here before tomorrow rolls around and I run out of time all over again. And eventually, I still have to talk about last week!

This morning was the trolley workshop at Animal Kingdom. I'll talk more about that later, as well as the fanfare that happened afterward...

Ok so today was week 2 of eat around the world at Epcot. I know it seems like all I talk about is food, but that's only because a) all I think about is food and b) to be fair, my last post was talking about a full week ago, I just published it late.

This week was Morocco. We went to Tangierine Cafe, the quick service Morocco restaurant in Epcot. I got the falafel wrap because although the vegetarian platter looked good, it was really big and it came with a huge pile of olives that I wouldn't eat. It would've been good to share but people down here like to get their own things, so whatever. The wrap was supposed to come with couscous and lentil salad. I asked to have hummus with my wrap, which it did not include, but she said I could add it. I was served two whopping containers of hummus and no sides. It turned out alright though, because I got through most of the hummus and I was very, very full by the end of dinner.

After dinner we hit up a few rides. We rode the Land boat ride before dinner, then took the boat from future world straight to Morocco. Then we walked through in the Mexico direction trying on hats and accessories and taking pictures in each pavilion. Unfortunately this was all on Meagan's camera, but hopefully she will make these pictures available on facebook soon. On the way back we rode the boat ride in Norway and the three caballeros boat ride in Mexico, then test track in future world. By then the park was closed and it was time to leave!

We still wanted dessert so we took a bus to Port Orleans resort then a downtown disney bus so we could get sundaes at Ghirardelli. I got a peanut butter hot fudge sundae: vanilla ice cream, melted peanut butter, hot fudge sauce, whipcream, and peanuts topped with a peanut butter Ghirardelli square. Yum. Never before have I eaten an eight dollar sundae, at least not to myself. Did I eat the entire thing? Yes, yes I did. Don't judge me.
After dessert it started POURING all of a sudden so we took refuge in World of Disney, but eventually we got tired and made a run for the busstop. Then we took the annoyingly long busride home, and here I sit, full but happy and also very sleepy, at midnight in the living room.

I have to work at 8:30 tomorrow which means getting up at (at least) 6:30, so I really need to be off to bed now. I promise I'll try to write a blog tomorrow after work (Note I said I promise I'll try, not I promise I will). Hope all is well back home! Love you all and miss you!
