Summertime

Hi! So, did you go to the staff appreciation lunch on September 19th? I took a bunch of pictures so that even if you didn't go you could pretend you went. :) I'm out of space in my flickr account so I can't show you all the pictures till October. Oh well! Here are the three that I was able to upload:

Dobrá

Carol introduced me to this great new-to-me tea place on Bank Street downtown. The owners are Czech and offer many teas from their native country as well as from China, India, Japan, and Guatemala, to name a few. The tea is served by the cup or by the teapot, and each tea is served alone or, if appropriate, with warm milk and honey. They also offer exotic snacks and entrées to accompany your tea. All tea is brewed for the individual customer from loose leaves, no pre-fab made-in-bulk tea here!

If you're a tea connoisseur or want to become one, Dobrá is the place to visit for a good cuppa.
