If the weather suits it, try a candlelight tour of historic Alexandria, along with a much-needed chocolate fix.
You'll hear about (and taste) how chocolate found its way into the recipes of today and see a selection of authentic products from the days of our ancestors, complete with demos by the History Division of Mars.
The candlelight tour will take you to the Carlyle House, Gadsby's Tavern Museum, historic Bank of Alexandria and the Lee-Fendall House, with live musical performances at each location.
