A good chocolate bar is a global effort.  Theo reminded us of that this past Sunday.  And a culture shock cure for au pairs might very well be chocolate.  Theo also agreed with us when asked this past Sunday.  A peaceful community is also a global effort.  APIA Au Pair representatives from Mozambique, Italy, Colombia, Thailand, Brazil, Germany, Mexico, Luxembourg and Peru gathered together in the Fremont (the center of the universe) neighborhood of Seattle to taste and vote on their favorite chocolate bars.  The building itself once housed the first trolley cars in the city and then the first Redhook Brewery, but now the building is a buzz with chocolate and the global connections the au pairs brought.  And darn if chocolate and connection wasn’t delicious.
