Drink coffee, take pictures and promote your blog!



Good morning everyone! Thank God is Saturday! I hope you are all enjoying your weekend so far....

Today I want to encourage you to be part "COFFEE FRIDAY"! What's "Coffee Friday"? you ask.... Well... every Friday I will be publishing a "coffee-related picture" that YOU take.... (NO pictures from another site or owned by someone else will be allowed), this is how it will work:

1. Take a picture in your favorite coffee shop or at home of something that is related to coffee "coffee mugs, coffee beans, a shirt that says "I love coffee" on it, ANYTHING related to coffee".

2. Write a short caption about the pic (20 words max), a description or message about your blog (about 1 paragraph), a link to your blog and a link to one of your best posts.

3. Send it to love.for.coffee@gmail.com

4. Your picture, caption, message and links will be published here, on our Facebook page and on TWITTER, so make sure you join those 3, I will be choosing the best picture(s) to be published, and some others will appear in the following weeks.

5. Please make sure your caption or message does not include any offensive or foul language...  I will NOT publish any picture or message that uses that type of language.

6. Once your picture (and blog) was published keep sending pictures, I will post links to the blogs that send pictures during the week and might use them for other posts (mentioning you and your blog of course).

So... Let's start taking pictures!.... I will be receiving pics all week! and posting some of them (depending on how many I receive) every Friday!

For any questions please contact me via e-mail love.for.coffee@gmail.com


Enjoy!

My favorite.... Alterra Coffee Roasters










I must say that my favorite coffee shop (and coffee in general) is Alterra!

Their slogan is: "Aqui servimos cafe fuerte" (Strong Coffee Served Here!) and it's true! ...

I really enjoy going to their location by the lake in Milwaukee.... you feel you are somewhere else... out of the rush of daily life...

You can go there in winter and enjoy its beautiful (and historical) location... their building is the historic Milwaukee River Flushing and it was built in 1888 with beautiful cream city brick, the smell of the coffee, the people enjoying a good conversation, the students using this wonderful location to do homework or some project, the atmosphere in general is fantastic...

You can also visit it in summer and enjoy the music outside, feel the breeze of the lake and have an amazing dessert or just its freshly brewed coffee!

.... I am sure you will see more posts about Alterra soon... because I really enjoy going there.....

I hope you have the opportunity to go to Alterra some day.

Debo decir que mi cafe preferido es Alterra!

Su "slogan" es: "Aqui servimos cafe fuerte" y es verdad!

Cuanto disfruto ir a su establecimiento en el lago en Milwaukee... te sientes como si estuvieras en otro lugar... fuera de las prisas de la vida diaria...

Puedes ir a Alterra en invierno y disfrutar su hermoso (e historico) edificio... el cual fue construido en 1888 con hermoso ladrillo color crema y que originalmente era una bomba de desague del Rio hacia al Lago, el aroma del cafe, la gente disfrutando de una buena convesacion, los estudiantes usando este hermoso lugar para hacer su tarea o algun proyecto, la atmosfera en general es fantastica...

Tambien puedes ir en verano y disfrutar buena musica, en las mesas afuera del cafe puedes disfrutar la brisa del lago y comer algun delicioso postre o simplemente una buena taza de cafe recien hervido.

... Pronto veran mas articulos sobre Alterra en este blog... porque me encanta ir ahi...

Ojala tengan la oportunidad de visitarlo ...
