I spent years trying to copy that cup at home and I never could. I drove around in a taxi in Miami, trying to find a special coffee maker...ya da ya da. When I returned to Puerto Rico, I went to the same coffee place and mmmnnn...it was still as wonderful as I remembered it.

It's quite filling! We walked in the hot sun blessed with intermittent rain. When the sun is shining and it's also raining people say that witches are getting married!

I'm in love with the setting and the entire atmosphere there. (I do have a bit more to show of the school.) I think your fairies would love to float around all of those arches. :-) Thanks for the lovely comment and your visit!!<br /><br />Rudee, you should send me an email with your address. I have a sample bag of coffee, I'd be happy to pass on to you.<br /><br />Mr. PC, you must have plantains out there in cowboy land? Share your gifts, Mr. PC! OSJ is so rich in history.
