I believe it was forwardslash. I'm sitting on a sidewalk in Miami with an americano.

BTW South Beach is a ridiculous place.

    americano

That's just fancy coffee made to taste like regular coffee.

. . . and I want some.

Basically! It comes from WW2, American GIs would water down espresso to approximate American style coffee back home - hence Americano.

Huh. You learn something new every day. I don't know what's more interesting, the fact that that's the origin to the Americano or the fact that apparently they don't serve normal coffee in Europe.

Better, than regular IMO. I need more hydration than an esspresso offers.

I feel ya. Peraonally, I like my coffee black and so dark light can't escape it.

Get cuban coffee.

That stuff is crack.

Will do. It was a European cafe. Good spƤtzle.

Spatzle is my favorite food but while you're getting that cuban coffee pick up a cuban sandwish as well.

Sweet -- are you conferencing or vacationing? Ignore the malcontents. "God" does, when she's busy.

Impromptu vacation due to some expiring air ticket vouchers.
