This little slip from LibanPost, the post office system here, means that my mom sent us 3 pounds of my favorite coffee. Yep, Oaxacan from Curra’s in Austin, TX. When I went to pick it up, I could smell it before they handed me the box. I won’t embarrass my mother by disclosing how much she paid to ship it here, but I can’t get too<\/em> mad about that.. we are going to be drinking this delicious coffee until we leave! Too bad we can’t receive Curra’s migas in the mail.<\/p>\n

Thanks, Mom!<\/p>\n

Last night I met my friend, Wiebke, at Barometre for dinner. Some acquaintances of hers ended up meeting us, a pair of American journalists who work in Baghdad. It was definitely a mellow evening, though the guys headed off to Gemmayzeh when I started for home. I find that I am less and less interested in going out late in the evenings.
