Couple of Coffees

Three cheers for Lisa

We witnessed a dazzling feat of speed today. Lisa, the owner of Java Bay in Bay View, Ohio, managed to whip up 22 smoothies in 25 minutes. The recipient of those chilled concoctions? A middle school class, celebrating the end of the school year.

Way to go, Lisa!

In between rounds with the blender, she served us two nice, robust cups of coffee that kept us going all the way to Ann Arbor, Michigan, even through a torrential downpour. Lisa owns the shop with her husband Bob.

We had a great time for the last two nights with my cousin and his beautiful family. Below is a shot of Niagara Falls from the weekend. We've been on the road for a week now, seen a lot of beautiful and crazy things and visited with amazing people. One of the best parts of this trip is listening to other people's stories.
