Today I took a personal day so that Simiao and I could explore the city together. We visited the Fremont Troll, the Theo chocolate factory, and had amazing Cuban sandwiches at Paseo. Gas Works park had an urban-exploration feel to it, with a number of industrial relics there for you to touch and explore.
Fun fact: The name of the "Theo" chocolate company is actually short for "Theobroma", from the genus of the cocoa tree. When the tour guide asked if anyone knew where the name of the chocolate company came from, I jokingly guessed "theobromine," assuming that nobody was actually so nerdy as to name their company after the principal alkaloid present in chocolate. It turns out that they actually were, in the sense that the genus and alkaloid obviously share the same origin!
