Today I went to a taco place at lunch with my co-workers (chicken taco with mole sauce, hello delish!) and I paused for a moment to give thanks for the fact that the place had jugs of FREE WATER sitting out for customers. I nearly wept.

 I love water. I rarely drink pop, never drink coffee, don't see the point of tea (flavoured hot water?), and don't do alcohol - so travel to Europe is always a drag when it comes time to order a beverage. I just want tap water. Free tap water. But that's not an option, so I can either order still water - which could be some stupid thing imported from far away, or a pop. I usually go for pop (if I'm going to pay, I at least want some sugar). Meanwhile, while I'm paying $2+ for my tiny glass of pop, Peter ends up with, like a 1L beer for less. So irritating. So I am generally always thirsty while in Europe.

After work I had time to grab a quick bite at a cafe near the dance studio and I asked for a glass of water and they didn't think anything of it and gave me a mug full of cold water. Blessed free tap water, I love you. 

Is it wrong that this is one of the things I love most about being home? Knowing I can get tap water wherever I go? I'm a simple girl.
