Kaffeetrinken
Jonathan and I developed a wonderful habit during the time we lived in Germany--Kaffeetrinken. It's not just about the coffee or the sweets, but the whole concept of taking time to enjoy each other's company. One of Jonathan's colleagues is spending the school year in Croatia as a visiting Fulbright professor. Here is an excerpt from her blog:Drinking coffee in Croatia structures the rhythm of the day. It is an art form and a way of living that requires a full stop, not a brief pause or “break.” People talk, debate, laugh, and listen. They think, read, and write while drinking coffee. They contemplate the coffee and the moment. Devoting an hour or more a day to drinking coffee is not a luxury, it is a requirement in Croatian society.
