one of the advantages of having out-of-town guests is that you are prompted to go do things that you never get around to doing by yourself. so yesterday, walking downtown in the beautiful sunshine that came to us instead of the snow, evan noticed a trendy asian (japanese?) restaurant that advertised fruit yogurt drinks on its front door. so we went inside and got some. we were the only non-asians inside. as we sat waiting for our drinks, we noticed the scripture verses on the wall. and in the corner was a large mural depicting a cross spanning a fiery crevice and stretching upwards to heaven. perhaps campy if found in a church, but a moment of color and life in the midst of a dingy downtown.
the drinks, which really didn't taste yogurty, were fruit-filled refreshing, passion fruit and orange. The lids were like saran-wrap, printed with roundish cartoon characters and beautiful (japanese?) script. the straw pierced the plastic wherever you decided. no limitations due to pre-ordained holes, as in the lids that prevent hot coffee from spilling on western civilization.
the sunshine liquid cooled throats parched by sunshine skies.
