Blogging, like most things, doesn't necessarilygive the impression you think you're giving.For me, it's not how many comments Ireceive, more like maybe meeting othersfrom somewhere else to exchange thoughtsand ideas.

Le Select, Paris (click to enlarge)(pic from the google)Reading about this particular cafe (now bistro), there have been many famouspeople connected to its history. Francesco Illy,who invented the espresso machine is the firstthat comes to mind.Predating him though, it is said that Lenin and Trotsky were served here. Famoussocialist filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein usedit as a source of inspiration.
