Family in Utah

👍 Recommended!
Noticing
Walking through the Royal Mile, I noticed the faint – then increasing – scent of coffee in the air coming from a popular bakery. It is morning. I continued walking for a little while, en route to one of my preferred coffee shops. There, the baristas were laughing, one exchan...
