Coffee By Country Summary:
USA - if it came in ceramic, it got a point. If the volume was smaller than filling a bathtub it got 2 points! 
The company was definitely the highlight.

France - Coffee was a bit hit & miss. The locations were great.

Italy - order without fear - they were all excellent!

    Hi Janes, at last the cycling experience is beginning! You must have been in a much nicer part of Charles de Gualle Airport than we were last year, we thought it was tired and a bit shabby:-)
    Glad to hear that you and your bags have been reunited and that you enjoyed the first class trip to Avignon!
    Happy cycling.
