First time at Starbucks... / Jan 17, 09:47 AM

Our neighbor Sevila’s 18th birthday is today, so we decided to take her to Starbucks last night to celebrate. She had never been before and she loves coffee, plus we had gift cards, so we thought it would be fun. When we told the people waiting on us it was her first time at Starbucks, they were literally shocked. So shocked, in fact, they gave her a free Mocha piled high with whipped cream and a piece of cake with a candle. It was quite a scene, actually. The Starbucks guy even took a picture with his cell phone and sent it to me today. Sevila moved here from Russia, so Starbucks must not have ventured into her part of the world yet.

I have a love hate relationship with Starbucks, loving the atmosphere and the coffee, but hating the prices. But this experiece made the few times I’ve spent $4 on a pumpkin spice latte quite worth it. And just so you know, Starbucks isn’t typically a part the “Mission Year lifestyle,” so thanks to everyone who gave us a gift cards to make these infrequent trips possible!
