There are few things in life as pleasing as the perfect cappucino. The robust richness of the espresso tempered by the creamy smoothness of the milk foam. I like to stir in some "sugar in the raw". The crunch of the granules mixed with the foam add another dimension of delight to the experience (think sprinkles on a cupcake).
A nice spot to sit and let life just drift by while you sip is a bonus.
Hi Hat I salute you.
Signed,
A grateful customer
Welcome to the blogosphere, Carol!

Hi Carol! A cute little café - I'm desperately trying to see what book you're reading. Could it be a travel guide, laying plans for a new adventure? Good luck with your new blog x

Of course I enjoyed the cappuccino post since my blog is called Cappuccino And Art Journal -- I love cappuccino. And the photos are cool too. Welcome to the blogging world and have fun.

And I salute you, Carol!
Mary Ann told me a little about you when we met in Paris (all good) and I told her how much I had enjoyed a certain sequence of photos featuring you.
You'll love being a blogger. Suddenly the world wants to talk to you.
Very best wishes from France.
