Willie and I have taken to spending Saturday mornings on long city jaunts with the pups. Last night was rather wet, but this morning was crisp and gorgeous with white and grey clouds puffing across the sky, east toward the mountains.
This day, we ended up on a sort of walking tour of coffee destinations:
The dogs are really good off leash, so we set off north with pig and nori at the lead. Of course, we stopped at Cafe Expresso on the corner, for my daily dose of three hot shots of espresso. Then, we headed on to Tulle Cafe on ninth east and eighth south. A few french pastries later, we began north again, past Judge and down across fourth south, where, of course, we stopped for coffee. Cafe Niche has amazing espresso. We decided to head up into the avenues then. Utahns are hardy people and a little wet weather is not enough to keep the city out their gardens, so pig and nori had a lot of fun waggeling up to everyone we passed. We hiked up to the top of the avenues and stopped in Two Creeks cafe for peach white tea...I figured more coffee might be dangerous. Anyone who knows us knows that we spend our walks scheming how we can purchase rentals and businesses and retire early and be together on a beach all day. So, we did that, and then, hiked down to Memorial Grove (which is spectacular and where I want to live, now) and then out through down town, back up into the Avenues for samoas from this tiny closet of an Indian cafe and then, shocking, Chais and Espresso from Jack Morm0n Coffee.
In all, our walking tour cost under $30 dollars and took about just under five hours. The last hour, the clouds turned dark and wet, and we were all pretty damp by the time we got home. But coffee research requires sacrifice and perseverance. It is a serious business.
And, here are pictures of my garden thus far.
