The GBA is pleased to hold an International Geocaching Day event where you get a souvenir for attending, it seemed fitting to associate it with something that has become international - Coffee.
The word for coffee in different languages is similar or even the same. This is because the word for coffee originated in Arabic, and it spread to other languages through trade and commerce.

You can sport a mini-flag from that country so others can guess the country - bone up on your flags folks. Let's see how international our community is. Write the country next to your name in the log.
