Physical & Natural Features By Dane

 On our second visit to Ghirardelli Square we went into a chocolate store where in the back of the room we could see a couple of breath-taking machines. They were chocolate-making machines that were so complicated it took about a few seconds for my mind to process it all. First, the liquid chocolate was compressed by one big wheel. Next, a big machine spun the chocolate around. Then it was churned up again by two big wheels. Finally, the liquid chocolate was sent to three more big wheels. There were a lot of wheels! After being turned around a few times by the first wheel, it was sent down a small chute. Then, it was sent down to the second wheel, and the process was repeated. Finally, after it had been sent down the chute of the third wheel, it was sent into a pipe (probably to get made into actual chocolate). Watching chocolate being made was awesome! Watch it happen for yourself below.

The stores in Ghirardelli Square are fantastic. The wonderful aroma of chocolate filled the air of all three chocolate stores that we went into (plus, they gave us free samples of chocolate). On our first visit, we got hot cocoa!
