I've already enjoyed the Paradise City video numerous times with Andy. That's a beautiful guitar. It looks like flying birds inlayed on the neck and frets. Cafe de El Salvador Rocks!!
BTW... I really dug the Angus Young with a cupping spoon button that Luis gave me at Coffee Fest. Cheers!

Hola Maria! Thanks for the nore. I am planning on coming back to El Salvador in early April to visit the roasters who participated in the course, and to see what they have adapted in their businesses from our work together. I have already gotten several emails from roasters who have created special blends from the work we did together! Give my best to everyone at the Consejo, and get the beer good and cold and the seafood hot!
