Jason & Kimberly

I just finished uploading the remaining photos from our trip to Tacoma, Washington. As I was commenting on each photo, I came across the photo of Kimberly standing in front of a Dancing Goats espresso bar (which can be viewed here). It occurred to me that their is a really cool legend behind the naming of this excellent coffee. It also occurred to me that some of you may be interested in knowing how one of the finest coffees in America came to have such a ridiculously random name such as Dancing Goats. Do goats even dance? What in the world do goats have to do with coffee? Right? Well, here follows the legend of Dancing Goats coffee: In Ethiopia their were a couple of goat herders (I guess they are called herders) who were tending to their goats. It was a normal day until one of the herders noticed that a small number of the goats were acting very strange. At various times they would jump around. That's right, they would jump around and this would continue for some time. The herders couldn't figure it out because it would be different goats at different times. This continued until one day the herders noticed the goats feeding. And what they saw is the goats eating coffee beans they had never seen before. So, like any curious human, the herders tried the beans and the beans were very good. So, the beans were named after their founders.
