The two drinks above, I ordered the one on the left, a cable car, and MrsT ordered the one on the right, a cosmo martini.
One sip of hers, she wrinkled her face (“bitter martini face”), then picked mine up, and a sip, and said, “Mmmmm…that tastes like brown sugar!”
Care to guess who drank the cosmo and who drank the cable car?

I don't do cable cars,
Scared of heights.

Forum GOD!
I refuse to go in cable cars with my family. They taunt me by rocking the car. It freaks me out.

Turn them in. You can taunt them when they are being taken to jail.

It actually terrifies me the thought of tipping over.

Haha, this was fun:
There were maybe 30 people on our tour. We stopped for lunch at this restaurant (food will be posted over in the appropriate topic in a bit).
At the end of the meal, the tour guide, who was helping the restaurant staff, took our order:
“Would you like Americano or expresso?”
“Americano.”
“Anericano, please.”
“Um, Americano, I guess.”
“Americano, Americano, Americano! Everyone here orders Americano! It makes me so sad!”
“Expresso, thank you!” <— that was me.
“I think I love you! You save my day!”
Then, when the waitress brought it (and she was a lovely woman, small, stylish, collar popped up like Jane Fonda ( ), she sat them down and said, “Ok, where is my expresso?!”
“Right here, please.”
“Ok, good! You’re in Italy, you drink expresso, eh?! Yes!”
<pause while she sat down the other three cups>
“The rest of you…,” and she gave a playful sneer, “…you may as well just drink tea!”

Oh, we also stopped for a cappuccino break mid-morning (“…because we never, never drink cappuccino after noon…never!”
With our lunch, we had Prosecco to start and a local white wine with the meal.

Is that kinda' like espresso?

I learned that on my trip around Italy, too. Som many restaurants in the US serve it in place of after dinner coffee.

Well, I do drink it fast!Is that kinda' like espresso?

I also like exxxpresso, which is…
when I drink it with no trousers on! 
MrsT is having another dirty banana (a boozy chocolate-banana milkshake), and I’m having a Stella.
