Mucha Gusta

Today we went to Little Havana in Miami. I wanted to see some Cuban art and eat some Cuban food. The area is not developed as a tourist area or gentrified. So, it was really authentic, but as a result there was not row after row of galleries. We only found one, which was interesting. It was a multimedia venue with dancing, music, a bar and art. The art was not anything I was interested in, though. It seemed very crude. And we couldn't find the other mosiac studio, only a vacant lot. However, it was fun being there, shopping and eating at Versailles. Very funny name for a Cuban restaurant, don't you think? John had pigs' feet and white bean soup. I had black bean soup and empanadas. Mojotas were had by all. This has become Wayne's new quest, ingredients for mojitos. We drove 50 blocks to find a little store with sugar juice. This "little" store had fruit, vegetables, a drink stand, a deli, a fried seafood counter, etc, etc, etc. We happily returned home with rum, mint and sugar juice in hand. Mixing was a community effort. For more pictures visit my flicker
