Leaf: We took a little time away from moving into our new house to celebrate our 17th wedding anniversary at this gorgeous, health laden cafe. (Pai, Thailand)

Leaf: I can almost imagine the old (modern/hip and happening) 'Uncle Ji' inside who came up with the name 'Modern Vision Guest House'. Love it! (Varanasi, India)

Rae: When I'm in Goa I always buy my coffee here, at the Tea & Coffee Corner. The proprietor is a particularly serious man who sometimes will crack the tiniest smile, if he has known you long enough. The names of the teas on the cupboards are: Orange Pekoe, Hi Gro Pekoe, Darjeeling, Special Blend, and my favorite, Family Tea. (Mapusa, India)
