STARBUCKS!



SOOOOOO......starbucks finally made it to Vina!!!! we went our first full day back from San Pedro - el miercoles. it was so refreshing to step into a starbucks where i felt completely at home. everything was the same - the aroma, the decoraciones, la musica, todo. the pastries too! and they had more food that was definitely chilena like palta y ave sandwiches. this starbucks is the biggest one that i have ever ever seen. it was a 2 story house that was converted into a starbucks. huge! but also more expensive than starbucks in the US :( triste. my 'cafe del dia con el sabor de avellana sin azucar' (which ended up being an americano with sugar free hazelnut flavoring because they didn't have just brewed coffee) was $2.050 pesos which is like $3.80 USD. normally my coffee costs $2.35. boo! and i can't pay for this with my Vandy card. so double boo! but here is me (super) happy with my friends and coffee:



and after our lovely coffee date we walked to the movie theater and saw 'la cruda verdad' or the ugly truth. cute movie - gerard butler is the man. none of us were wanting to speak spanish because we spoke english the entire weekend in san pedro so we just continued with our gringa gatherings.....bad i know.
