Well, Dunkin' Donuts seems to have gone out of business here. :-( They
once had several shops in town, and survived for several years!
Suddenly, around 2000, poof! They were all gone. I still have my DD
travel mug. I know that their coffee was highly considered, which is
amazing, considering the very good, strong European coffees it had to
compete with (My favorite is Lavazza express roast--in the black can.
You can buy it some places in the US--World Market comes to mind)
But in any case, I fear for what would happen to a Tim Horton's.... I
wouldn't complain if they tried, however! I like their coffee, too.
;-)
Shame you won't be making it down here.... Oh well...
P.S. Sorry for the delay. We took visitors to the mountains, to
Zakopane yesterday--gone all day.
