Caffeine Me

I can't remember how many times Hubby Tony and I have participated in the Maplewood Coffee Crawl, but today was our day to caffeinate.
There were two tours. Back when we bought the tickets we chose the "Early Riser" one. That turned out to be a good thing, because the local St. Louis University Billikens men's basketball team's game in the NCAA March Madness tournament tipped off at 11:10, and we both wanted to be home by then. (Unfortunately, their opponent was the tournament's number one seed Michigan. The score was close at half time, but ultimately they lost by 23 points.)

The crawl ticket included eight stops. Six of them were giving out coffee or tea samples. Two of them offered coffee-infused treats. The Passport also listed ten businesses that would stamp the document. A completed passport could be turned in for a gift card drawing.

  1. That sounds like fun. How were the coffee-infussed treats? Did you get to try any?

    1. I figured the Billikens wouldn't get past the number one seed in the entire tournament, but it was still a sad ending.

    1. Amazingly, everything had left my system by bedtime.

  6. That's a novelty. I hope you weren't fizzing by the end of it.

    1. Each sample was small, but my last steps were significantly perkier than my first ones :-)
