I also would like to thank Rebecca, Abby Quijano, Heather, Jhonny Walker, and Abby for some lovely awards that they have passed onto me. I will cover them in my next post.
Today, I am honoured to be presenting a guest post by my friend, Esme! I love her blog, Chocolate & Croissants. Like me, she is a lawyer, though we practice some thousands of miles apart.

Of course you will want to enjoy some dessert after all this wandering around. What should you choose-some cannoli from the Italian shop?
Or maybe some chocolate.
