This is the first heron I've seen here and I nearly missed it with the chill. My eyes were all watery. Hopefully I can catch one in the midlight at some point or at least while there is more light.
But for now:

I saw a heron!
Walking home from class! I was so excited! Of course the light blew as soon as I got my phone out so the light was awful. I wish I could have gotten a better photo.

I'm noticing a trend here
I seem to be taking lots of photos of trash cans.
I laughed at this one a lot, actually.

Continuing With My Coffee Theme
I do not mean to say that Boston even has the best coffee, I mean to say that I have had superior coffee in other places.
In all honesty, I find Boston's coffee scene a little bland and tasteless. So far my favorite coffee has been in Spain, and I don't mean at a single cafe or bar, anywhere I went the coffee was fantastic. It made me euphoric. I had coffee everywhere. In bars, the train station, bookshops, restaurants, little kiosks along the road. You literally could not go five feet without inhaling the scent of a cup being poured. I was happy to oblige. The best part was they didn't just give you a cup of coffee, they'd give you a cup of coffee and some adorable little sugar cubes, or a tiny cookie, or a tiny piece of delicately wrapped chocolate. It was beautiful, simple. I was in love.
The second best coffee I ever had was probably in New York at a bodega or in Ghent down in Virginia. The stuff in Ghent fits the Boston style more, its certainly more fancy, but it is pretty good, I'm not sure it beats the stuff at bodegas, I guess I'm a pretty simple girl in the end...
That being said, my new photo and newest coffee stop has been Wired Puppy on Newbury St. I've always stayed away just because I associate Newbury street with out of my price range at the moment, I am a college student after all, but I was really hungry and I liked their logo so I stopped in the other day and got a Vanilla Latté. SO GOOD! Why does no one talk about this place? It was pretty expensive, but the size was good, or it seemed big anyhow compared to Green T's, and it certainly tasted better(not that I dislike Green T's, I just wish it had more oomph). Plus the girl did a cute leaf on top even though I got a to go cup, which I thought was cool. Course, I didn't bring my phone or camera, but I took a photo of the graphics on the sleeve. Just a really bright, eye-catching design they made.
