Please come with me on a brief tour of one of my very favorite
things...COFFEE. Over the next 5 caches, I will try to delight you
with a little bit of coffee lore and maybe just a little bit of
humor. Coffee is one of those delightful beverages that will not
only warm you up on a cold day. But, will also lift your spirits
and give you that extra little boost. And should you overindulge on
this tasty drink. You will not only receive your extra boost, it
will also shake you up : ) But, now on to our lesson...
AFRICAN
ORIGINS
(Circa A.D. 800)
Goats will eat anything. Just ask Kaldi the legendary Ethiopian
goat herd. Kaldi, the story goes, noticed his herd dancing from one
coffee shrub to another, grazing on the cherry-red berries
containing the beans. He copped a few himself and was soon
frolicking with his flock.
Witnessing Kaldi’s goatly gambol, a monk plucked berries for his
brothers. That night they were uncannily alert to divine
inspiration.
History tells us other Africans of the same era fueled up on
protein-rich coffee-and-animal-fat balls—primitive PowerBars—and
unwound with wine made from coffee-berry pulp. Coffee later crossed
the Red Sea to Arabia, where things really got cooking...
Now, for you mission…
You're lookin' for one of those nice (or nasty depending on your
point of view) little nano caches. But, I've had to move it to a
new location, you will have a little more room to hunt around. But,
you will still need to be mindful of Muggles...so, make sure you
use your best stealthy techniques. I hope that you enjoy this
series!!! And if you have ANY problems PLEASE let me know!! GOOD
LUCK and HAPPY HUNTING!!!
