Joe,
That truck was driven by Don Roger Peralta's daughter, at the Finca La Argentina, in Dipilto. Up in northern Nica, close to Honduras. The Peralta's were the most generous hosts I've had the pleasure of meeting.

I was just a kid when I lived there, and the neighborhood wasn't as cool as it is now when we left (but it was in the early stages of restoring its image). I was born in StL, and moved away at the age of 12.

I love roasting. I just wish I could do more than 1lb. batches. I have roasted on a couple of different Deidrich roasters (one 25K, and one ir12, I think it was), only one or two batches on each, and it just leaves me wanting to spend more time with it.

One day.. I intend to open a roaster/retailer. That day is not today. In the mean time, I'll settle for helping other people get their dreams started off on the right foot.

I hope I covered all of your "ramble ramble ramble"-ing. ;)

I have limited family in StL. I lived in Soulard. I tend to use Brown Coffee Co, or I roast my own. I am a consultant/freelance trainer, and do not own a retailer.

I *may* be back in June.. maybe. It's still a toss-up, but I'll definitely keep you posted.

Being from St. Louis originally, I think it safe to say that I will probably find myself there again eventually.

I'll let you know in advance if/when that happens.

Cheers

It was great getting to see you again in Ptown. Hopefully we will catch up again soon
