My sister Sarah is currently on an I-Tech work trip to Guyana for her AIDS curriculum work. She went on a leisure trip to Surinam, too, for a couple days when she got there. Haven't heard much, though.
Getting hungry...
Man I love Seattle espresso...Vivace in particular is the best. Victrola, too. Yes, indeed. But try buying just one a day - you'll be down $3 more or less, right? Well, pretty soon you find yourself needing two - and I can assure you, these places aren't giving free refills like it's Coke. So now you're down $6 a day. Now multiply that times 30, and per month that ain't no chump change.
So I'm limiting myself to one or less of these delicious espresso/cream concoctions per diem. I'm telling you, though, try resisting the double allure of caffeine and deliciousness. And I mean delicious as in texture (the frothy, smoothness of a latte) and that unmistakable essence of coffee bean. Add the aroma plus the fresh-faced beauty of Seattle college-age girls, and you have a recipe for...I don't know what. Something not easily resisted.
Plus, when your life is boring already, you know.
That's why the Seattle espresso scene is so popular, and why they can get away with charging so much. I went to the Broadway Vivace on Saturday around noon, and the line was literally out into the street - there were like 25 people in line. Crazy.
So like I said I'm getting hungry. Time to go to Dick's.
