The Coffee Chronicles Part 2


I forgot to mention yesterday that we are also keeping our eyes open for bike shops (as in bicycle) and we found a small shop in Lisbon called Stress Relief. It was very crowded and almost all MTB oriented. We saw Giants that were pretty much the same as we see at home, but the were also BH's and Scotts which we rarely see in Canada. The Sidi shoes were well priced and seem to be in colors and styles not available at home. Since Sidis are Italian I will look for a pair in Italy at maybe a sale price, pretty much unheard of in Canada.
In Cadiz we walked many narrow lanes and came across cafes almost every 50 paces. We tried our luck at a busy one on a square, ordered a cappuccino and a cafe con liche as well as an order of Churro's. The churros came by the plateful, like a plate of fries, and resembled deep fried curly donut bread, if that makes any sense. For 1 euro it seemed a good deal, but I found them to be greasy. The cappuccino came with what appeared to be real whipped cream on top, not foamed milk, but it was still very tasty. The cafe con liche was hot and came in a glass, and was very good.
We will probably get more this afternoon. Hasta luego (see you later).
