Caffe Fairfax

Visiting Fairfax ,California is always a "trip". This morning was no exception. In need of a morning shot of caffeine, the assistant Mayor and His Honor stopped on the corner for a latte. We were greeted with a folk music playing guitarist who sang his own version of folk music. Within minutes, he was accompanied by an outstanding harmonica player who knew how to work that thing. The coofee house was busy, even by Saturday morning standards. Locals and visitors mingled with their coffees, reading, listening, and just hanging out on a rainy, spring morning.
The Latino barrista greeted me in Italian-how did he know-Italian? Did I look Italian? hardly.
But, it's Fairfax-people speak many languages here.
Later this morning, the sun came through, finally. Maybe we'll see it for awhile and things will start to dry out. Plastic sheets grace many a hillside in the county, and nervous homeowners.
