This week I finally got back to Dream Café, and had a perfect cup of cappuccino and a delicious Choco Loco! If you live in Bitola visit Dream Café in New Bitola by the pazzar for a one of their delicious hot or cold coffee drinks – they are dreamy! I will be there this Saturday.
One year ago today . . .
As bad as our economic crisis is, the economics of life in Macedonia are much worse. Double digit unemployment is a way of life – 30%+ is normal, and yet the entrepreneurial spirit prevails.
I am continually humbled by the number of people here, who are creating the lives they want as they tip-toe through and leap over the obstacles in their paths.
Here are the results of believing your dreams can come true . . .

My friends Pece and Marie are a unique couple in many ways. They have successfully blended their cultures, and use their many talents to combine their dreams. I was thrilled to be here for the opening of their new café. I spent many, many Saturday mornings with friends at their previous café in the old Turkish market in Bitola. “Dream Café” is in a great location, next to the new green market in Bitola.

Their cappuccino is the best in Macedonia. (My close up shot of a perfect cup was not so perfect – next visit!) Pece is a coffee connoisseur, blending each batch of beans with just the right amount of options for his customers.




Congratulations again, to my two wonderful friends Pece and Marie and their sweet little daughter and son. I can’t wait for my next cup of cappuccino.
