Today was a good, lucky day for us to be on bikes.   As opposed to 2 weeks ago when the soaking came an hour earlier than predicted and we got drenched returning from John’s Landing, we were safely inside Kopi when today’s 9:15 downpour came, and biking back at 9:45 was lovely.

The last time we were at this location was 3 years ago, almost exactly – March 3, 2013 – when the shop was known as Green Beans.   We enjoyed ourselves then, with its minimalist, clubhouse kind of feel, but really do appreciate all the thoughtful improvements – and introduction of Indonesian style coffee, food, and decor – that the new owners have have instituted.   The new couches, tables, and wall hangings all convey their interest in making the shop a draw rather than primarily being a place for Screen Door’s waiting list to hang out in till their names are called.

Today’s topics centered on the most recent battle royale of Republican contenders – (though neither of us watched, we read loads about how well endowed the Donald claims himself to be,) – and recent attempted takedowns of him by John Oliver and Mitt Romney;  and M’s bucket list item to travel to Argentina and Europe, plus H’s to Colombia.
