White Coffee

Here are a couple shots from a pretty little seaside cafe in Beirut where I stopped for a cup of coffee. You can get a sense of the sweep of the corniche, and also of the mountains in the background. I ordered a white coffee, which is usually code for coffee with milk. However, in this case it was just a cup of hot water, which, with the color of the cup, did turn out white. It wouldn't have been so odd if they had brought along some tea bags, but it was just hot water (although with plenty of sugar). The waiter seemed a little mystified that I sent it back.
