Upon seeing the Wanderlust theme I began rereading my travel sketchbooks kept over the last 25 years. I noticed the amount of space I'd devoted specifically to the coffee culture and dialects I discovered as I traveled in the United States. Most of my sketchbooks were created before the ubiquitous spread of Starbucks, so in rereading I became aware that each region of the U.S. had similarities in how they verbally responded to my question "Can I get some coffee please?" In the Pacific Northwest in response to my question I was given complex choices of type of coffee roast and cream. In the South the reply to my question often left me wondering what was said and whether or not I would be getting any coffee at all. In the Northeast a cup was quickly, enthusiastically filled with whatever coffee roast they were using, cream had to be requested. Even coffee cup styles were similar within a region. My book "Coffee Please?" sums up and presents the data collected in my travel sketchbooks.
