Juan Valdez

I learned much about coffee. It's been on my mind since that's all that I've been consuming since Kate's arrival.

Legend has it that the first coffee bean was discovered by a goat herder who everyday called to his goats with his "flute" at the end of the day. One evening, the goats did not return to his call so he searched them out. He found his herd of goats eating something from a bush. The farmer tried some and noted a sense of uplifting energy soon afterwards. I assume he took them to market. This story reminded me of that old coffee commercial with Juan Valdez. I never realized he was a fictional character. Why did I ever think he was a real person? Ha ha ha.
