Theme Week, Part North America


It’s Geography Awareness Week!  Hawaii is the only US state that grows coffee


 Ooo!  Theme Week!  We haven't had one of those around here in a while. 


I know!  I started to feel bad that I haven't had a Theme Week for quite some time, and this week, Geography Awareness Week just kinda fell into my lap.  So all this week, we'll be presenting fun geography facts!


We'll also be using this Theme Week as a flimsy excuse to watch the video of Miss South Carolina again.  That never seems to get old.


Well, if there's ever been a reason to be more aware of geography, that is it. 

So today, we get to learn about coffee.  It's pretty fitting for a monday that we learn that there is a only a select set of latitudes at which coffee beans can grow (Ideally, 0-10deg) , and that all of the coffee produced in the world comes from that region.  The only part of the United States that is inside this climate zone is Hawaii.  Hawaii is known for producing the Kona variety of coffee.
