Arrived back in America yesterday at midnight my time and 6pm your time. I had an amazing trip but I must say it is SO GOOD to be back. My first stop at the Amsterdam airport was the Starbucks!!!! I can't tell you how happy I was to see them. I have missed my daily latte from my FAVORITE place BEANERS (BIGGBY'S) but since they don't have a store in Amsterdam yet I had to "settle" for Starbucks. Make no mistake about it, Italy had GREAT coffee only too little of it. A shot of espresso (2 Oz) or a cappuccino (4 oz) that you drank standing up or if you wanted to pay more for it, sitting down. NO take away cups, no lingering over a full bodied coffee, no skim milk, no flavoring, no sitting.

If you have been reading the blog, first of all THANKS, and thanks for your comments. It really made my day to read your comments at the beginning of the day; a little connection to home.

The photo of the glass is lovely, Jane. Is that from Italy, too? I'm so glad you had a wonderful time and am looking forward to a face-to-face with all those great images!
Welcome home Jane...Ahh, but I like the small, stand up coffee in Italy :) I miss that! I leave for Virginia for the weekend to see my brother but when i get back, I'd like to get coffee and hear all about things Italian.
