Just when you thought Starbucks was overpriced . . .

Kristy and I dropped by the Liffey Valley Shopping Centre in our sporty Seat 1.2 rental car today to purchase a mobile phone. On the way out we stopped by the world's most ubiquitous coffee shop. When the barista told me that my total for the tall drip coffee was €2.30, my jaw dropped wide open and I considered reminding her that I'd only asked for ONE. At the current exchange rate, that means I'm paying $2.94 here for something that costs a buck fifty in the States. Yer killing me.

Time to open some more Bewleys.

    That's why the people just drink Guiness. It's cheaper. You should post some photos of your new place on your blog when you find one. I'm excited to see what you get. This is Bethany by the way...you guys were pretty jet lag when we met at Covells. Well, we're home now. I'm praying for you.
