International beverages
Today I had bubble tea. It’s a drink that originated in Taiwan over 20 years ago, also called pearl tea, QQ drinks or boba drink. Bubble tea is generally sweet iced tea with milk and large tapioca balls. It was actually pretty good, although a little sweet for me. I realize it’s an odd beverage choice when I’m about to leave for Mexico, but hey, I’m an international guy.
In my defense, I was just watching Dennis’ blog about the Mexican soft drink Jarritos, and I told him I’d have to try it. I’ve probably had it, but for some reason I can’t remember. I was always more of a Coke or manzana guy.
Speaking of Mexico again, remember those butterflies we were talking about in the last blog? Well, we were hanging out outside yesterday and God sent us one to photograph for you (alas, no, I didn’t take the picture you saw in the last blog entry). I like to call this butterfly Susana. I’ve uploaded some photos of Susana for you in our photo gallery. Check it out! You can also see photos of our holiday from last week.
