There were 2 Starbucks that we knew of in BA .. the tourists liked them , the expats shunned them and the Porteñoes thought they were cool :)<br />Mary, the "hardest" change is just being "homesick" for BA. I miss our friends and neighbors and the city. I am adjusting slowly to being out in the middle of nowhere, long drives to markets etc do not charm me.<br />But nothing is forever and it is very beautiful here so I am not complaining, just whinging :)<br />Notes From ABroadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202279303962539035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6405235946922980965.post-40372816925511459922013-10-10T16:29:34.116-04:002013-10-10T16:29:34.116-04:00We've been doing the cafe scene here in Europe...We've been doing the cafe scene here in Europe and have to admit I've sipped more Cappuccinos than I've ever had in my entire life. The black coffee I usually order is much too strong and bitter and no way will I step inside a Starbucks in these gorgeous old cities! Loved the Cafe Mozart in Vienna right across from an opera house, and in Budapest it was the Callas next door to that opera house! Here in Prague today we had coffee in the sidewalk cafe on the Old Town Square - people watching was awesome!<br /><br />I know the changes must be hard for you and I hope you will settle and find cheerful coffee shops and cafes before the Winter comes.<br /><br />Hugs - Mary Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6405235946922980965.post-91051880891146454972013-10-10T14:38:14.818-04:002013-10-10T14:38:14.818-04:00I love doing this too.

We mostly end up going to places like Starbucks because it's easier to take young kids there but when we can, we try to do something different.Jennifer Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685253944514672324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6405235946922980965.post-76018462010920460932013-10-10T11:47:10.402-04:002013-10-10T11:47:10.402-04:00I love cafes and the whole atmosphere of dining ou...I love cafes and the whole atmosphere of dining outdoors, people watching and delicious baked goods is heaven to me!!designchichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11814501245552660696noreply@blogger.com
