![]() We parked the car and wandered along the street, window-shopping for a while as well as looking for a place to eat. Our choice was at Terra Breads.
Here, as in most Canadian cities there are dozens of coffee shops to choose from, each with their own specialty. I saw something on the news today saying that Canadians are the largest coffee consumers in the world averaging 5 cups per day per person! In Vancouver, there are very few Tim Horton establishments; instead they have many organic coffee or espresso outlets. According to the program I saw, Timmy's has the second lowest amount of caffeine while Starbuck's has the second most. Apparently, we as consumers want more so they are all trying to come up with a better coffee. I prefer my coffee not so strong and I find that the organic coffees certainly taste better. Terra Breads coffee was quite good. where we enjoyed a wonderful tomato basil soup with tasty sandwiches and a cup of coffee. Although the forecast was calling for a sunny day, it was overcast so the warm beverages were exactly what we needed. We continued our trek around Kitsilano and made a few purchases along our way. As you have heard before, my back has been a nuisance and today was no exception. In one store, Saje, where they specialize in natural wellness and aromatherapy, I learned of a chiropractor who also uses a different form of healthcare who might be able to help me. I have an appointment tomorrow at 11:00 am so I will let you know how it goes.
