Subject: [Leica] PAW: Late Lunch at the Columbia

I had business in Tampa Bay, Florida, and after a particular difficult
meeting with the clients, went to nearby Ybor City and had a late lunch at
the Columbia, a local landmark and self-proclaimed oldest restaurant in
Florida.  The restaurant specializes in Spanish food with a Cuban accent.
I eat there whenever I have a chance, and find the simple dishes the best
(chicken with yellow rice, Cubano sandwich).  The restaurant has several
dining rooms, all with a lot old-world character.  Ybor City itself is a
neighborhood full or architectural charm, with a lot of old style cigar
smoke shops, and has the best Cuban bread I have ever had.  Too bad my work
in the area did not leave me much time for photography.  One of these days,
I will go back on my dime and on my time and enjoy myself. Meanwhile,
here's this week's PAW:

As always, C & C welcome and appreciated.

Thanks,
