Finding love in a chocolate shop
 |
All great love stories should start with chocolate.
The romance between American Marty Kovalsky and Belgian chocolatier
Myriam Van Zeebroeck kicked off that way when the traveler with a sweet
tooth moseyed into the Brussels chocolate shop where Van Zeebroeck
worked. The first time they met, Kovalsky left with 100 grams of
chocolate and a major crush. Five visits later, after a kiss and a brief
tour of Brussels, Kovalsky scribbled his American address on a US
dollar and promised to write. Distance kept them apart for years, and
both started seeing other people in their respective countries. Nearly a
decade after meeting and years of sending each other letters, the
then-friends decided to give a romantic relationship a real shot. Love
motivated Van Zeebroeck to leave her life in Brussels to follow Kovalsky
to California. They married within months of her arrival, and 30 years
later, the pair are still just as smitten with each other and with the
Belgian chocolate that brought them together. They recently visited the
Brussels chocolate shop, which is still enchanting tourists all these
years later. “You never know where you might meet the love of your
life," Van Zeebroeck said.

You gotta see this
This California sea otter is an absolute renegade with a real aversion to surfers. This 5-year-old fugitive has been kicking surfers off their surfboards
and swimming away with the boards. She has the US Fish and Wildlife
Service on her tail — her behavior indicates she's lost her fear of
humans, either due to hormonal surges or feeding from the people who
visit her Pacific Ocean home. Surfer Joon Lee told the New York Times
that the conniving otter, called 841 by her former caretakers at the
Monterey Bay Aquarium, approached his board, bit the leash that kept Lee
tethered to the board and began to pull the board apart with her sharp
teeth, which otters typically use to nosh on sea urchins, clams and
mussels. Lee relinquished the surfboard to 841, who remains at large.
Once wildlife rescuers find her, they'll re-home her so she'll have a
safer life in a new habitat — away from humans and their pesky
surfboards.
