Old Homes

Eating on an expense account is pretty nice. I get to try out some of the places I've heard about, and I get to order the house special. Kuba, Kuba is such a place. They have authentic Cuban food, a cool, college ambience, and the surrounding neighborhood was awesome as well.

I chose the pan seared salmon, which came with fresh asparagus, black bean and corn salsa, and coconut risotto cakes that were out of this world. Oh, and an iced cafe con leche that was dessert in a glass.

After dinner, I needed to walk off some of that too full feeling, so I started walking. This is a statute of General Robert E. Lee, one of many statues along Monument Boulevard.

It is always interesting to see how people can make a small, shady space so lovely, isn't it?

 

So ends today's tour of Richmond. Hope you enjoyed it! I'll be back again tomorrow.
