Corey, your photography just gets more and more splendid. Truly a visual delight. You're making me crazy to get to Provence. It's been a long time (ten years for sure) and once before that back in the late sixties. I love your joy, humor, talent.

Thanks so much, Maggie

In Angra do Heroísmo, on the island of Terceira in the Azores, each evening a bunch of friends meet up starting ca. 7:30 PM at a particular café downtown. My closest friend in Angra long ago invited me to come join them there: I usually arrive a bit early so I can get a hot sandwich, a typical Azorean dessert and Kima (passion-fruit soda) as a light supper, otherwise he'd insist on paying. If there's a football match (soccer in the US) on TV, the large-screen flat set on the wall will be showing it -- so over the years I've actually learned some about watching the sport! The café is open till 11 PM, and even later on Saturday nights and during the Sanjoaninas festa (when the street is closed so tables and chairs can be set up out front on the street).

My coffee at a local café in my town today seemed to be spiked with extra caffeine as I eavsedropped on election result discussions.

One of my local favorites serves hamburgers, my favorite is polanos with cheese.

The espresso shop, where I go every morning before work.Great conversations with customers and baristas. Some of the baristas are professional musicians and love to talk about music. If I hear something on their speakers, I can ask what song is being played without seeming like a dork. The good thing is when it is a band from the 70s and I can tell the 20something baristas about the band. Oh, and their medium lattes with 2% are spectacular!

7th May is my birthday. If I was where you are this is where I would ask my husband to take me for lunch.
Right now it is the 8th of May where I am, which is my Mum's birthday. If she were still alive, maybe I could take her here as well.

After waking to the bell chimes of Most Holy Redeemer Church, I love it when my nephews come over or waking up with them if they've spent the night with me and walking over to 24th street and Noe to Toast. It's a cute hole-in-the-wall breakfast place with the most heavenly french toast you've ever tasted. There is always line out the door waiting to get in. Lou and Rafa race each other down each block, laugh when the pigeons cross the street in the cross walk, marvel at the displays in the bakeries along the way (Christmas time is the best) smell the gloriously fresh flowers outside the flower shops. They have their routine. Lou gets sausages, silver dollar pancakes, and chocolate milk. Rafa orders two sides of bacon (TWO!!), pancakes, and hot chocolate with whipped cream. There is a used bookstore on the walk back that we go into where they get to pick a book. Lou always gets a Star Wars book. Rafa is into Comics. I really hope they look back on these San Franciscan Saturday mornings with their goofy Aunt as magical... Love, Allison

Now you've done it, my mouth is watering. It's 5:15 a.m. here and I know I'm going to be thinking about this food all day. I would love to have friends with a restaurant (and be salt of the earth people of course). We are lucky enough to have several locally owned places near our home.
