Cup of Coffee...

For being Portland and having coffee shops and bars everywhere I have had some trouble finding a really good cup of joe...  I love white chocolate mocha frappe!!!  Now I was introduced to this AMAZING very unhealthy beverage when I was 18 at a local coffee shop located in Salisbury, NC.  After a few years of being able to get this amazing brand of yumminess, the local shop closed and the owners moved. This saddened me because I have yet to find a cup of joe that was as good as Mr. Morgan made.  Miss you Mr. Morgan and your coffee making abilities!!  Anyway, I have been on a search for a replacement and I usually end up slightly disappointed.  I try each cup with an open mind hoping that one will quench this craving I have.  I have found some "good" coffee but not WW points worthy.  This cup of the Gods has to be ground breaking because it cost me so much in the points department, it must be worth it.  Which is also why I find myself disappointed as well.  My coffee habit has increase a little since living here due to the hectic schedule I keep now.  I sometimes (ok, more than not) need the extra assistance staying awake and I fear next term, sitting in an English and Math class for 4 hours after working 8 hours on graveyard I will need this assistance more often.  So my search is on full force.  This morning when I got off work I noticed a quaint bakery across the street where I pick up the Max and I thought, hey lets try it.  First, they actually make Frappe, oh by the way a lot of places here do not make frappe.  A frappe is just a frozen coffee, equipment needed: BLENDER!!!!  Why do they not have blenders here in restaurants, coffee house, etc... Ok sorry back on track.  SO I got frappe which first sip, I thought hey, I may be on to something here... 3 and 4 sips oh darn, this is really sweet!!!  WHAT!!!  A frappe TOO SWEET FOR ME!!  Yes folks it happened, I was unable to finish this cup of joe...

Oh well probably better I didn't because it was HUGE!!!
After purchasing this coffee I got on the max and heading home.  On route we go over the Steele bridge and most days they view is good, but this morning it was beautiful.  I tried to get a good shot but this was the best I could do for riding by it on the train.

Then after the Max I pick up a bus from time to time or I will walk.  Today I opted for the bus ride.  While waiting for the bus I noticed a new statue across the street.  I just love how these random statues just, show up and are just, you know there hanging out and don't really have to do with anything besides being awesome and something look at besides the weirdies that walk by. 

After I get off the bus I still a small walk to get home.  So that is always a good time to snap a photo...
