A taste of home

Avery and I were walking down the streets of GuangZhou when she suddenly veered off course and ran into a store. I don't know why she picked that particular spot or if she really recognized it, but it was in fact a Starbucks. A very western, yummy smelling, over-priced beverage serving Starbucks. She ran right past the line of customers and around the corner to find herself a seat at an empty table. She climbed up and then demanded a treat. We had just eaten and I don't know how she knew that a Starbucks would even have treats for her. But she was so happy in her chair and seemed like she just wanted to have a nice little rest, so I bought a marble pound cake and an orange juice. It is just as overpriced here in China as it is in the States. Avery was delighted, ate her treat, drank her juice, and then we headed for the bus stop. It was as if she had been making Starbucks stops her whole life. Weird.
