Oh, El Starbucks. You Got Me Hooked!

Another nice morning, my homeslices, because it started with me SLEEPING IN. Oh, so glorious! Second day in a row after never EVER doing that for a month and a half... SIGH!

I got up when I felt like getting up...11AM sounds more reasonable, eh?

What did I do next? Teehee... El Starbucks, around el corner, chyeah!
It's a nice little walk:
Heading towards it, I walk down (literally) a hill and reached the Zea Harbour --- 2 minutes max. (2nd biggest harbour in Piraeus), make a left and pass through KFC (yes...), Pizza Hut (yeah...) and the really nice restaurant Lianne and I had gone too with the honking swordfish. Then, I pass a supermarket --- so trippy! I went a couple days ago to get some healthy food (I think a fruit should be in order from time to time eh?!) and this place is three stories high. Do you know how you bring your shopping cart up to the next floor with you??? There are conveyor belts you just roll your cart on and bring yourself with it... holy cow... haha, I thought that was something else! I ended staring at the people doing that... until a lady started telling me to get on with it or she would go in front of me at the checkout register... Oops... Sighnomi, sighnomi!
What's conveniently located right next to this store? El Starbucks <3

What is scary about this is that the minute I walked in, the same lady smiled at me and said,"hello!"
I start saying my schpeel, but today....Aye Dios Mio!
She cut me off with a big smile and said, "Tall hot caramel macchiato!!"

Oh dear God.

Some of you will totally get this and will be laughing your asses off at this very moment, and rolling your eyes.  I know. I know. I know.

Not only is this Starbucks location a great one, but the employees are like the ones back in North America --- all smiles, welcoming and they REMEMBER REGULARS.

Have I become a regular in Piraeus, GREECE????

HOLY SKATA!
I LOVE THIS COUNTRY!
