according to the good folks at wikipedia, today is
international coffee day! I'm currently not in the states, but I am travelling with a long-time coffee buddy, and we intend on celebrating here in sunny Monaco with an attempt at a coffee crawl! (well, assuming Monaco has enough coffee shops for a crawl...this place is tiny)

I'm so glad this day isn't as commercialized as other holidays. I cringe at the possibility of one day feeling obliged to buy people Coffee Day presents, or take my kids to the local coffee shop for coffee-bean hunts (presumably with a fictional coffee-day bunny that lays coffee beans).
Of course, it wouldn't be International Coffee Day without a little coffee-day history. Apparently nobody knows where coffee day originated from, but many countries around the world celebrate this day (not always on 9/29). I'm surprised that many of the places that celebrate international coffee day are asian (japan, china, taiwan, indonesia, phillipines, etc)! Anyways, hopefully this day brings a bit more awareness to coffee and coffee appreciation.
We're heading out soon, so I bid you farewell and Happy (or is it merry?) Coffee Day!

AKA: Poop.
ahh yes, it may be hard to differentiate between the two...
BUT perhaps said coffee-day bunny laid (or pooped) magical coffee beans similar to that of the kopi luwak?
