...and now over to the show !

Iceland- Palmer Thor Hlodversson

Leaving the Symposium with my head full of thoughts, I rushed over to the big SCAA show and the WBC. 

This days competion was nearly over when I arrived, but I did get the chance to see Iceland compete- a lot of fun with interesting signature drink and a very entertaining performance in all. 

On the balcony  the finnish crew was watching, so it was 

a nice oppurtunity to hear about their expectations for the next day and about coffee in Finland.

Finland- Mikko Haahti

During these days there will be so manydedicated people to talk to, it is impossible to see all old and new friends in such a short time and even harder to summarize it here.

Fortunately there are some people doing a good job spreading information. The two old champions Stephen and James are some of the MC´s keeping us here in the audience informed of what is happening, very assuring.

...and later in the evening a large portion of the 

baristas gathered at Octane (a coffebar in Atlanta) for a latte art throwdown. 

Good day.
