\tWe’d seen a Starbucks across from the tourist bus stop outside Sagrada Familia and just couldn’t leave the city without going there. Especially since we were sopping wet… a hot drink sounded pretty appealing.<\/p>\n
\tNow, you have to understand: Kaitlyn can turn any experience into a retail experience. We hadn’t even deciphered the Spanish on the menu when she started handing us pink travel mugs and begging for them. I refuse to buy anything else that won’t go in the dishwasher. Besides, where is she traveling that she needs a hot cup of coffee?<\/p>\n
\tInstead of the not-needed travel mug, I convinced her to get a special drink. Since she doesn’t drink coffee or chocolate, this took some quick thinking. I ordered her a cold milk (impossible to find in Europe) with whipped cream on top. (so it would look like the pictures in the store) Gross? Maybe. But she was thrilled. <\/p>\n
\tI got a chai tea latte. Bill got a cafe latte. And we topped it off with cheesecake, a blueberry muffin (no, not the \u0093skinny\u0094 one, please) and two packages of caramel cookies.<\/p>\n
