yeah, there is a reason why dawn opening cafe in country towns is a thing, everyone is working mostly in the area so they go there on the way to their job, also probably has an impact in many urban centers as well where there is a lot of people in tin cans working in offices and services nearby
it's important to get teh light first and defer the coffee until you have had a long enough walk that your metabolic system woke up, then the coffee fuels it instead of taxing it
It seems that everyone is up early bustling around . I ask the restaurant at 8am if they still have breakfast and they usually shake their heads. 6am is the time everyone is eating on their way to work.
Men are walking towards the mountain slopes with machetes to work amongst the coffee plants. , women are opening up the shops. Other men are carting around propane tanks for the pupusa stands where women are flipping pupusas on grills.
The retired dudes sit in the park and the sweepers come around and I have to move outta their way with my ☕. And there's the virgin Mary statue, kinda like an idol to motherhood.
Seems like a nice statue, they did a good job painting her eyes, because it almost looks like she knows your troubles when you stand in front of her.
ah, you see, the life is similar here on madeira across the other side of the atlantic
this is how people live in most of the world
