Black Slugs & cafe au laits

As I walked home the other I came across a black slug. Momentarily I was grossed out by the fact that I almost stepped on a black slug. Then as I proceeded to continue walking I saw roughly three more. It made me think back to Spain and the time I traveled up to Asturias (a province in the north). I can clearly recall that the slug or slugs I saw in Asturias were amazing. Maybe it was the fact that I never seen a black slug in my life and that it contrasted perfectly against the bright green of the hills of Asturias, yet here in DC I see another black slug and I am repulsed by it. *sigh* The novelties in life and how they please you at first then one day they lose their appeal and attractiveness. 

I'm nostalgic for a good cup of cafe con leche, or cafe au lait as its known in the States or Visto, something like that at Starbucks. I really want a nice short expresso with some skim milk. I mean I can get this here but its just not the same. Guess, I'm just in a whining and complaining mood about all the things that the States DOESNT have. hehe. :)
