How I Didn’t Spend My Summer Vacation
Don Holly’s just back from Italy, having spent 8 days or so touring Italian coffee houses — leading an SCAA tour, actually — from Tourin, to Florence to Venice and then to Trieste for the first round of the WBC championships. Spent lunch today watching his slide show and trying to keep my skin from visibly turning green. [Envy, envy, envy.] I’ll snag a few pictures to post here soon as I can.
It’s amazing the diversity of cafes in Italy: from the grand, gilt salons — coffee palaces, actually — that have plied their trade in the same space since the 18th century… to the sleek, ultra-chic concept cafes joined at the hip with the latest Italian fashion designers [replete with perpetually-looped runway fashion shows on the wall of television screens]. Something for everybody, it seems.
So, how many cafe options do you have in your town?

Hello.
Bloggle is the online playground of Doug Cadmus, a usability guy, writer, photographer and sometime dramatist who moved to Vermont for the coffee. When not writing, reading or walking his old, blind golden retriever, he roasts coffee in his garage and is the Web Guy for Green Mountain Coffee in Waterbury, VT. Flickr Photos
