Can you guess where we are enjoying these delicious Starbucks drinks?

IN TRUJILLO, PERU! Starbucks has officially opened their doors in Real Plaza Mall - 5 minutes from our house! Of course, we ran into several Peru Mission Team members while we were there - the expats are happy!
Things have come a long way in Peru since 1999 - when we bought coffee beans grown in the jungle in the outdoor market and politely begged our "Cajamarca grandmother" to roast the beans in her mud oven - just to try and approximate the great coffee shop coffee we missed so badly. Now, we can easily walk in to Starbucks at our new mall, drop a huge wad of cash and enjoy a marvelous cup of coffee!

Wow! Your are FAST! What, did you run in,drop your groceries on the floor, and post on your blog??? Unbelievalbe.
But it is exciting, isn't it. :)
Look for my post tomorrow after I can get a picture of our "First clientes" honor.
But I'm not bragging....
Actually, I dropped the groceries, cooked hamburgers, ate lunch, taught a history lesson and THEN I posted - but it was hard to wait that long! We saw y'all's receipt on the bulletin board at Starbucks as the first clients - John and Annette!
We are such the consumer Americans aren't we!? Allen and I had our picture taken at the bookstore next door to Starbucks as being the first customers:-) Hey, if you look closely at our pic of Starbucks, you can see Dale & Susan inside:-) By the way, in case you didn't ask, they are open from 9am - 12 at night!
You can see Lauren Freeman inside on our pix - I think Peru Mission will singlehandedly keep them open!
I wish I was there with you! How can I not be there for this "first?" I miss y'all terribly!
