We discovered a Cuban restaurant in Buford, Georgia named Havana South. Growing up in Miami I naturally equate all things Cuban with Miami. So when we drove by the non descrip shopping center along Hwy 20 and I looked up at a sign for Havana South -Cuban Cuisine I shouted for my dear husband to pull in for a look see. It was a Monday afternoon and our mouths were just watering, I could hear the Latin music, well no such luck. Closed on Mondays, damn it, but I knew it would not be long before I would be sampling some of the Cuban cuisine.
Saturday was the day..we thought we would go ahead and give it try. As soon as we were seated, I was transported back to my past. Latin music was playing, a young handsome Cuban waiter with just enough of an accent came to greet us. I found out although he was generations younger than I we attended rival high schools. I heard spanish banter in the background and of course the smells of garlic and onions wafing through the air. I felt at home.
The food was better than what I expected, I mean this is Buford, Georgia. I closed my eyes just for a second and I imagined I was back on Calle Ocho.
So if you need a quick trip south, head on over to Havana South, you won't be disappointed.

Here I am!!
Ok, anyone else think I am nuts for starting my own blog. You are probably thinking what can she blog about? I named my blog, 'Anyone Else Think' with the tag line of 'justmylines' because I wonder does anyone else have the same thoughts, opinions, worries, views as me? If you disagree that is fine, lets agree to disagree. I am hoping this blog will be written sometimes with serious thoughts and other times just for laughs. So if you dare to follow my lines, feel free to subscribe and add your comments.
