Nothing says cold fall day to me like holiday flavored coffee

Unfortunately, my local Starbucks didn't have pumpkin spice or gingerbread or peppermint lattes. Are those flavors limited to evoking holiday feelings in the US? Anyway, they did have seasonal beverages. I chose the Cafe Latte Praline, which was pretty delicious anyway.

Yum!

In other news, going to see Harry Potter this afternoon. I figure that seeing it at 6:30pm Madrid time is like seeing it at 9:30am in Oregon, so I'm only 9.5 hours late.

Ah, seasonal beverages and Harry Potter. Two definite signs of winter. There are literally only 4 weeks from today until I leave Spain. Not all is lost, however, since I get to spend almost two more weeks in Europe/Africa/the Mediterranean with my family before returning home. Then two weeks at home, then another semester "abroad" in DC. I got offered an internship with Senator Defazio this week, and had an interview with Senator Merkley's office yesterday, which went very well despite the six hour time difference and exigencies of my cheap Spanish cellphone (aka not the greatest sound quality). What I am most looking forward to, though, is my triumphant return to Boston!
