After a long, 12-hour train ride, I am finally in Cambridge, Massachusetts at 8am this morning. The train ride in itself was uneventful, if you don't count the fact that they weren't calling out the stations and you only had five minutes to get off before they started pulling away. I swear, an old lady almost missed her stop.
I also hailed my first cab today. Go me!
I am lucky to have an old high school friend(we will call her Spices) that lives in the area and I'm staying with her, her boyfriend, and her roommate. They are pretty cool people! We went out for brunch today and all I can can say that it was the best brunch of my life! They took me to a cozy, quaint place called Tatte Cookies and Cake. My eyes were immediately drawn to the mounds of pastries and I almost died when I saw the coffee board. They had white belgian chocolate cocoa...I did a happy dance...In my mind of course!
Spices recommended that I try a dish called Shakshuka (paoched eggs, potatoes, bacon, and some sort of creamy sauce). It was amazing! I also said had a cheese croissant (which was so flight and airy and melted in my mouth) which I washed down with white cocoa. Delicious!
After brunch, we went to the mall because I was not prepared for the coolness of northern weather. I'm a southern girl after all! Followed by me sleeping for another six hours. I had to make up for all the loss sleep on the train.
So far, my adventure is starting out well. More to come and hopefully more pictures!
