The things you learn at the coffee shop

None of you will be surprised to find out that Peter and I have found a little local coffee shop close to the condo. The Citadel, more accurately a coffee shop/lounge, has both indoor and outdoor seating. Peter and I stopped the other day and had a coffee and a piece of great carrot cake at one of the outside tables. Also offered are many different soups, sandwiches, and various other sweet treats. The difference in this coffee shop and the local Starbucks is that the Citadel offers alcohol. Here you can get a "flavored" coffee, wine, or liquor. There is a concept that I could get used to. While I was waiting for my non-fat latte yesterday, the barista was making a London Fog. A London Fog is steamed milk, two shots of vanilla flavoring, and a bag of English tea. I kind of turned up my nose and she shared another drink that is not her personal favorite but is catching on called a Bambus. This drink is apparently becoming the rage all over Europe. A Bambus is equal parts of red wine and coke. Why in the world would anyone waste red wine by mixing it with coke? Wow, the things that you learn at the local coffee shop! I think I will go back for another latte today and see what else I can learn.
