Well, it's me again! The one who loves Starbucks Coffee - strong and hot. Can you imagine the sheer torture seeing a Starbucks sign directly in front of our hotel, only to discover it is located on the other side of a "round-a-bout"?! It is not just any round-a-bout (intersection of Perthshire and Benignus), but one with four lanes of traffic going around it all hours of the day and night. To make things worse, we are discovering that the "ALTO" signs do not really mean "STOP". One of the locals described that it really means, "be careful that you do not hit anyone as you proceed through"!
Take a look at two photos that illustrate. First, the shot of the Starbucks sign in the distance.
Now the photo of the Mexican round-a-bout!
Not to worry, I'll not be coming home having gone through withdrawls from a week without Starbucks. I came packed and ready with a hopefully ample supply of Starbucks "VIA" Readybrew!
I am at Starbucks right now enjoying a Mocha (I would say enjoying it for you but I know you would much rather the VIA that you have). I will smell the coffee for you though. Thanks for the update. It is a welcome break from research. Maybe if you offer to get the driver a cup they will take you over before or after you go to the clinic.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I love Larry, I was not willing to be a wheelchair decoy for the mad dash across 8 lanes of traffic that never stops! Besides, he has enjoyed the VIA.
ReplyDeleteWe certainly do not need any type of accidents! God is so good!
ReplyDeleteThank you Lord Jesus for your comfort and your healing touch-all glory to you Lord!
Ok, I'm sorry ... I won't comment every time, but the "wheelchair decoy" comment made me laugh out loud. :)
ReplyDeleteGood one Debbie!

Yesterday I had to choose between the Starbucks on the 4th floor of my building and the Starbucks on the 3rd floor. There was an escalator involved.---Brad
ReplyDeleteI like the one in the 4th floor of your building better
ReplyDeleteI walked past that one, but I went with the 3rd floor because it was a closer walk to my truck from there.
ReplyDeleteMom we love you just messing with dad.
