I got here yesterday morning, and I spent some time just wandering the city. I walked around downtown, RISD, and the river. Then, ate an amazing dinner at The Grange. The poutine was out-of-control delicious. This morning, I am going to head over to Brown, just to say I have been there.
Oh, but not before I stop at Dunkin Donuts for an iced coffee. Here’s the thing, there are Dunkin Donuts in Austin, but they are few and far between. In Boston and NYC, they are everywhere, so that is all I would
