I even think I'm looking at rendezvous having to do with marriage ... you know, those Internet brides. Jon, thanks a million!!! Café Café, I keep forgetting, Tiendecita Blanca, I walk by constantly and never figured it out, News Café, I keep hearing about but never go, Zeta, I've never even seen ... obviously there are reasons to hang out more in Miraflores and S.I. !!! I'm obviously bourgeoise BUT not the type of bourgeoise for my current neighborhood, I need to get café busy!!! XXI, that sounds like the #1 best - there are good reasons to exile oneself from wi-fi part of the time. Jennifer – yes, this is the kind of thing I mean.

I would never have known. Just black women with long, elaborate hair and beads. Whilst in Zimbabwe, somebody pointed out some prostitutes at a Greek restuarant we went to. I would never have known.

The Café de la Paz is the place for a pisco sour, I reckon. (At least in Miraflores.) The Haiti is the place for people-watching. And Havanna is the place to look over the books you've just bought at the Virrey. You've missed out the ritziest of all: The Tiendecita Blanca, opposite the Haiti. The good thing about the Haiti is that you can snag the free Wifi from the McDonalds next door. The place I like most to work (and I sometimes spend hours and hours there) is Café XXI, on Larco (I think it's called... a few blocks away from the Haiti). This is quiet, the waitstaff don't bother you. The only thing is that it doesn't have wifi. There's a new, trendy place further towards the sea, the Café Zeta. And don't forget Café Café. In San Isidro, the News Café. I made a habit of doing a tour of the fancy cafés once a week, book and/or laptop in hand. I like all the three you mention, for different reasons.
