Are you Mystic Rosa...?

Hey people! Ok, So I found this picture we took in Harvard Square and decided to reminisce. So, I hope you enjoy the story. (YAY!! STORY TIME!!!) Anyways, so my best friend and I went to Harvard Square to kill the day a couple months back. Well, we scheduled out everything! We were going to go to FiRE and iCE (wicked expensive, except on Mondays, but SOOO amazing!) and we were going to see Mystic Rosa, get some boba tea, and check out a few stores. (Hidden Sweets is epic!). So, the boba tea place was closed, go figure... We got lost and didn't get to check out as much as we wanted. We spend $42 on FiRE and iCE, but we got a sundae and...IT...WAS....AWESOME!!!!!
Now, for the fun part. We went searching for Mystic Rosa... 99 Mount Auburn Street. It was my 2nd time in Harvard Square and she hasn't been in quite a while... and we're both pretty bad with maps and directions. (After walking around, I know Harvard Square practically by heart now... YAY!!!) I believe it was sorta more on JFK street, kind of, which threw us off. (Eventually, we found it... we ended up passing it like 20 times... go figure! haha) We went up and down Mt. Auburn to find it and we saw this door at the bottom of a stairway. We literally debated over whether or not to knock and see if that was Mystic Rosa. I mean, come on! Who puts a suspicious fox face thing on a door? You have to admit, it's very Mystic Rosa-y. So now we wonder who owns that building... what's it for? Who resides there?! And most importantly.... How many times do they get knocks from strange people asking "Are you Mystic Rosa?" "Are you Mystic Rosa now?".... It's a very suspicious door! :) Harvard is a very interesting place. We spend about 15 minutes next to that door. Actually, we went back and hung out on the stairwell there a couple weeks later with a couple more friends. It's kinda our thing now! haha. (We did other things, yes... but the suspicious stairway is an important landmark to us!!! :D)
Well, We finally found Mystic Rosa, but she wasn't there.... We made an appointment the next time we went. I'll post later about our next trip and our visit with Mystic Rosa. It's kind of funny and kinda ironic in a way. More to come later!
Peace everyone!
