Sweet Home Virginia???

I flew down to Richmond, VA (from Toronto) to see Christopher. This is the second time I had been there, but this time I got to do more Richmondy (it's a word!) things. 

We went to Maymont Park, which has a whole slew of Eurasian inspired gardens (Japanese, Italian) as well as areas where animals are kept. Lovely park to have a picnic which is just what we did. 

We walked through Carytown, a lovely area further away from Richmond downtown. Many little restaurants and shops that are worth a visit 
- Weezie's Kitchen- Cheap drinks and great mozarella sticks. AND SMOKE-FREE!
- New York Deli - Fun place to be :) 
- Elwood Thompson Cafe- Organic coffee and all that goodness! 
- Nara - very cheap sushi and fairly good. Though not amazing.
