If you are like my roommates and I, coffee is a necessity during these gloomy winter days. Last week, we decided to celebrate our love for coffee and went to the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum in Lincoln Park to see "The Birth of Coffee" exhibit. Yummmmmmy!

Where was I? Oh yeah, The Birth of Coffee!
"Photographer, Daniel Lorenzetti and write, Lisa Rice Lorenzetti, traveled more than a million quarter miles, to eight major coffee producing countries to record the diverse communities of people who produce coffee. Their travels trace coffee's historic 18th century globalization, from its humble origin in Ethiopia, to its experimental planting by opportunists, missionaries and settlers. In the tradition of important documentary teams of the past, the Lorenzetti's find commonality across the diversity of the world's coffee growing cultures, documenting the faces and lives of the people who nurture coffee from seed to cup."
Did you know coffee beans start as coffee cherries??
Who doesn't love learning about something they love? Haha.
I highly recommend checking out this exhibit which is available until May 9, 2010. It is a great way to take advantage of the amazing museums we have in this wonderful city!
The Field Museum of Chicago - check out the Diamond exhibit!
