Sometimes is difficult to join the pleasant with the useful, or doing severals to do things at the same time. Fortunately, this day was one of thats occasions.
Taking advantage of that a few members of Hive Santiago de Cuba come to the main city of the province (Santiago de Cuba city) I call for an encounter of Hivers. Was a express call but that opportunity can not be pass. The place of meeting was the headquarters of the AHS (the cultural Saíz Brothers Asociation) where the ceremony of the Creators Awards will be developed.
The decoration is truly attractive and the ambient have some nice degree of intimacy. This is a coffee shop located in a place distant from the downtown, so is not a place that people go frequently. You can plan go there or you take the opportunity when you are near. Lookly for us, the AHS headquarters and the coffee shop are pretty close. Just a dozens of meters of distance.
We ask for cortaditos. A kind of coffee that include a little prooortion of milk and cream. This, together with the expresso are the most extended and favorite coffees today in Cuba. The reasons are very easy to figure out.
1- The price of the cortaditos is still affordable.
2- Use ingredients easy to adquire and that is a huge matter in middle of the country shortage situation.
3- Have the better combination you can find: stronger like an expresso, delicious and sweet like a capuchino.
So we drink our "favorites" coffees while we talk about art, Hive and friends. We share ideas becasuse we are planning do in February a bigger meeting, but we have to tie some non attached dots. Crossfingers ti everything go well. However, of course, coffee, arte and cortaditos will be included.
