It's Starbucks/Snow Time in the City!

Last Wednesday, my lovely flatmates and I headed to Starry Arbot, where they have TWO Starbucks, plus loads of cool shops and restaurants. We had a beautiful evening wandering around and looking at souvenirs. To cap it off, we headed inside this little beauty of a shop: Okay, yes, I call myself a Seattle-ite. BUT, I am not into the Starbucks in the U.S. I would choose almost any coffeeshop over going to Starbucks. HOWEVER, being at Starbucks was exactly the comforting environment that I needed. I may have actually said at one point, "this is my favorite place in Moscow..." EEEK. So much for experiencing the culture...BUT. Check out our awesome paper cups with our names in Russian...SO worth the $6 or $7 I paid for my vanilla latte...

Here you see Carolyn, me, and Jenny enjoying our lattes...what good times and delicious drinks!

On the bus ride home, Carolyn and I felt so tired plus brave that we hopped right up on the side of the Metro train. We did get some funny looks from Muscovites, but at least it made for a cute picture...On Friday, it snowed buckets on us. Carolyn and I thought it was so beautiful, so we went out for an evening walk. Here you see our little street lined with snow!

Well, that's it for today, my friends! Enjoy.
