creature of habit


i haven't had a coffee since we left for istanbul. there people only drank tea. not surprisingly given that turkish coffee is referred to as mud. i can attest having seen a cup, that it is not that appealing.

it seems that in ireland, tea is also the preferred beverage. there is no coffee machine in this house, not even a percolator. i miss my coffee and paper in the morning. i suppose i could buy one, but everything is more expensive here and i'm not sure coffee is where i want to dedicate my extra income.

the upshot is that without all that extra caffeine, i feel pretty rested. i'm up before the rest of the clan. its 5h45. the house is nice and quiet. i can think. and blog. and write. that was the whole purpose of this trip. maybe i should have stayed in kingston and just dropped the coffee!
