cuba libre

first friday at cuba libre found
the henricks
the lusbys
the mannis
the mcintires
at a table for eight in the back left corner
two families were celebrating birthdays
all families were celebrating life and a night on the town (w/out kids)
we experienced the 15 tastes of cuba
the strongest coffee in the world
the most mouth watering mohitos
scantly clad brazilian dancers
forks that could double as ice picks
a server who earned every bit of his $-- tip
we danced to salsa music (well, tried)
we laughed at the 40yr old couple making out by the window
got sangria confused for grenadine
had chocolate hummus
and had a most colorful time
