Adventures of Emikel and Jro

Last year our many siblings took classes at the Mystic Aquarium, giving us two choices:
  1. Stay home and be bored(for what seemed like a whole entire day) and maybe do something productive...or
  2. Go to mystic and hang out together, exploring the 'Olde Mystic Village' and drink Starbucks.

Needless to say since our first favorite thing is each other, and our second favorite thing is COFFEE(particularly, but not pertaining to Starbucks) the answer was obvious.

On one of our adventures to this fishy establishment we came upon an Irish goods store. Of course we had to check it out(Bella is Irish. Perhaps not by blood or heritage, but by choice and desire ;) The shop wasn't anything amazing really. There were mugs with classic Irish names on them, Guinness posters and Claddagh rings. But as we were walking by the counter we chanced upon the candy selection. CRUNCHIES!

Crunchies are an Irish candy made of honey comb dipped in chocolate. Pretty much the tastiest thing you will ever eat. Until then we had thought they only sold them in Ireland, we were pleasantly proved wrong.
