A Shipment of Coffee from Vietnam arrived today!
2012 is off to a good start! Jane started ordering this coffee back in early October, and finally managed to break through the communication barrier and ordering difficulties. I have to say, Im pretty excited about it as its a really smooth and non acidic coffee. I had a Kilo and a half of this brand sent home when we were in Hanoi. 750g of Moka, which contains a % of Robusta beans which made it potent and 750g of this ‘Weasel’ coffee, which has a very unique way of being processed. Pretty gross as well when described, I wont bother as I try not to remind myself when Im drinking it. All I will say is that the Civets know when the bean is ready!
On Sunday, I spent 9 hours working on our Egypt book doing color corrections. Once we finish it, I will put up a link if they let people browse it. Here are some pictures from it.

A view across the Nile at night.
This is a view across the Nile from back in 2008. Feluccas would sale up and down the Nile, as well as large tour boats.
