ON THE ROAD AGAIN…RAPHINE, VA

One can have a coffee ritual anywhere, including rural Virginia truck stops.  How excited was I to see a sign for an espresso bar on the highway?  Ecstatic.  No hand-pulled espresso or fancy La Marzocco machine found here.  But an automatic double-espresso on a long drive makes everything better…

as did Chick-fil-A and a truck full of sheep.
