Epcot with Charity (Day 1) - December 5, 2014

 Charity and I had the best time at Epcot!  We loved it.  I was sad that I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't do the required walking with my Achilles tendinitis. 
 This is Charity at the entrance gate of Epcot.
 Inside Epcot there is a beautiful lake with countries represented all around it:  Mexico, Norway, China, Germany, Italy, The American Adventure, Japan, Morocco, France, United Kingdom, and Canada.
 The scenery was so beautiful.  It was just relaxing to be there.
 This was Japan.  Each country had culture presentations, Christmas presentations, food, and gift shops.  We just loved it.
 Our first meal was at Tokyo Dining (Japanese).  It was delicious.  
 Charity outside our restaurant.  The view is beautiful.

 We got tickets for the Candlelight Processional.  It was the highlight of our Epcot experience.  The singers were amazing.  We were both very moved.  I couldn't believe how I cried.  The woman doing sign language did an excellent job.  Whoopie Goldberg was there as narrator.  The Voices of Liberty sang with the choir.  I'm sure it's the best Christmas program I'll go to this year.
 Germany
 Charity got a hot caramel drink and caramel smores.  Both were from Germany and excellent.
 We went to a couple of rides at Epcot.  Soaring was my favorite.
 Mexico
 French bakery - the pastries were divine!
 It rained on us twice but wasn't cold and didn't last very long.
Our Chefs de France meal was superb - macaroni, onion soup, and a baguette, Creme Brulee.  The waitress misplaced Charity's credit card and that gave us a scare for a few minutes.  We loved the food very much.
