Getting up so early to visit The Mill café in Haymarket District in downtown Lincoln to enjoy few hours of free parking was simply great, grand, and splendid. The Mill café at 7 in the morning was beguilingly filled with sounds bent by mostly elderly espresso inquirers. I got few free-and-most-appreciated mocha beans from a nice barista to go with my usual, the buoyant double-shot espresso, securely wrapping myself in the rich coffee aroma and the touch of revitalization. Unhurriedly sipping my espresso, I continued to marvel at the gentle troop of graceful beings, their vivid poises, and café’s amiable atmosphere.

Half hour later, the sun began to galvanize daily routines while I slowly tiptoed toward the Iron Horse Park like a smiley Emperor Penguin finally let go of his heavy suit.
