a little taste of home

As we walked down the platform in the Munich trainstation, looking around at our new surroundings, a train moved out of the way and revealed, miraculously, a Starbucks.

We resolved before we left that this was not going to be a "tour the Starbucks of Europe" trip, and for three and a half weeks we have ignored the few ones we´ve seen and sampled the local coffee instead. But today both of us were tired, quiet, and a little travel weary, and seeing those green letters was like clicking our shoes and going home, if only for a few minutes.

Tomorrow: Neuchswanstein (the Disneyland castle)

Mmm, Starbucks. Maybe you could start calling it "The Green Lantern", that would be fun. I think that after a disappointment of international proportions, like the brewhouse, the next Starbucks you came in contact to would be a logical choice.

Thanks for thinking of me guys! It is the thought that counts:) I hope you take some pictures of the (likely weirdy or outrageous) stuff that makes you think of me.

Keep on rockin' in the free world. And beyond.

Seriously! I mean, I understand being homesick and devastated, but with all the potential for great coffee.... never mind. I'm a coffee geek afterall.

Hey! I'm commenting! Blogger's letting me today! Anyways, I wanted to say that I identify with the Starbucks thing. Not that I'm in some far off land, but hey, Starbucks is like home right? I'm so glad Kamloops has several. Anyways, I miss you. You both rock.
