International Coffee Day by Weezilou

International Coffee Day

Last spring, Maki Monkey left her native Hawaiian home and seemed happy to travel with us. When we coffee-lovers heard about this special day, we asked Ken to make us some Kona-coffee (Hawaii USA) cappuccinos that we could pair with the quite-sensational Godiva-chocolate truffles (Belgian/French) our favourite Miss Vikki brought us from Toronto (Canada). Maki Monkey is an enthusiastic Canadian flag-waver as we’ve had nothing but fun since we arrived and we’re celebrating in the morning sun with my new Quebecquois coffee mug.

It doesn’t get much more International than that! It must be said that morning coffee makes me very very happy!
Wonderfully composed, I just love coffee and just about anything but especially chocolate !

International Coffee Day? And we don't drink coffee. Cute sock monkey. Linda still has the one my sister in law made for her when Linda was about four.....

I think I must be off to make some coffee and grab a chocolate now!

I totally participated in International coffee day this morning too. A mocha made by me in a Maui mug... dreaming of Hawaii. I will have to try some chocolate now though after seeing your enticing display.

I look forward to starting every morning with my home-brewed coffee. The perfect start to every day! Cute shot.

What would we do without coffee! Lovely international fun shot.
September 29th, 2015  
What a great day, never heard of it but throughly approve! Good to get a few'countries'into the shot

the purple goes so well with this! I think perhaps I might consider adding a bit of chocolate to the morning.

Coffee in the morning makes me human....well, at least a more pleasant human!! I have imbibed my fair share this morning in honor of Coffee Day (yeah, right, so what's so different about today, right?!).....and, I am going to have to get Miss Vikki @summerfield down here so that I can enjoy some of those Godiva chocolates.....and, her lovely company! ;-))))

wonderful shot... a perfect way to celebrate.
September 30th, 2015  
Love this. Beautiful composition!
September 30th, 2015  
oh, by the way, godiva is belgian, or at least it began as.
September 30th, 2015  
@summerfield What a dreadful mistake to make! Note that I made a correction in the hope of making it even more international! Of course I'm probably totally incorrect!

@panthora She and Bill discussed coming to CA...what fun THAT would be! She's also returning next summer... Perhaps you two should have a discussion about that!

Morning coffee the way life was meant to be. LOL
September 30th, 2015  
@Weezilou - well, i just googled godiva and found out that in 2007 it was sold to Turkish company. but its roots began in Belgium in 1926 until then. so that makes it more international. must go back down there today for another shot of chocolate covered macaroons and ice cream laden with gianduja and pecan pieces. gotta go! :-P
September 30th, 2015  
LOL lovely shot!
September 30th, 2015  
It all looks so good! Maki a very lucky monkey!!
September 30th, 2015  
I love the composition of the shot and the angle! A perfectly international offering for us!

Do they ever have an international tea day, she asked wistfully?

Cheeky monkey ... and a nice tale (I would have said tail, but that's hidden).
October 1st, 2015  
@wordpixman HA! cheeky, indeed, as all little monkeys are, but she might be forgive as she didn't say a word when I ate both of the chocolates!

You'll have to remind me next year Louise. I love coffee!
