Boston & Bear Brook Adventures Part 2

With my headache gone and my body somewhat more hydrated, it is again time to continue my epic tale of cozy East Coast travels. Last time, in the part one here, I ended on our museum day. Now, I pick back up as we headed to New Hampshire to spend a couple days snug in a cabin. We made a stop in Concord, where we got treats at a bakery (The Crust and Crumb Baking Co.) and migrated over to a coffee shop (Revelstoke) with a clear view of the golden-domed capital building across the street. I tried a blood orange pistachio latte, a daring choice that paid off, and Alex had one with maple cinnamon flavoring. Mine had a very nutty flavour with notes of citrus brightening the sip as you swallow, really a good combo despite how odd it may seem all together with coffee and oat milk. The rain and fog chilled the morning and made the warm, fragrant cafe an intoxicatingly serene setting for a nice moment together, not to mention they played Glass Animals and similar swirly, melt-in-your-seat music.

DIY/Bricolaje de Compresas/Almohadas Térmicas

Frío frío frío. Con la excepción de alivio durante un día caluroso, es, sin duda, mi estado de ser menos favorito. He tenido mucha suerte en los últimos años; yo escapé de los duros inviernos en Chicago viviendo en los trópicos o en el sur de Illinois, donde no recibimos tanta nieve como el lago Michigan le da a la parte norte del estado. También, mi apartamento esta alrededor de los 70°F porque mis utilidades están incluidas y mi pitón bola, Kirminas, disfruta la temperatura. Muchas veces siento que mi cuerpo está cayendo a pedacitos, pero al menos mi Raynauds no ha sido tan grave. Voy a tomar cualquier victoria que yo pueda obtener.
