Escape from The Asylum

Old woman escapes from The Asylum in quest of Real Food.

This morning after breakfast I decided to escape. So, I hopped a bus and went to Old Town Alexandria. One dollar and about 60 minutes and I was there. The plan is to get some exercise and maybe just maybe some lunch.

The zoning in Old Town isn’t wall art friendly. 

It’s a little over a mile from the bus stop to the Potomac River. Lots of shops and RESTAURANTS along the way. After checking out a couple of boutiques and the only thrift shop on the way to the river – I wander past The WarehouseThe chalkboard outside mentions “Lobster and Avocado Cobb Salad”. Happily, they found a table for me. They were very busy, Brunch you know.

Lobster and Avocado Salad. To die for.

There wasn’t a hint of collard greens, turnip greens, kale, bulgar, or quinoa anywhere on their rather extensive menu. 

Note to self: Do this more often.

Another adorable bunny! This one is smaller.

When I got back to The Aslym (another dollar and 60 minutes) I discovered another bunny. Can not get too attached to bunnies. In Virginia every year 80% of the rabbit population is eaten by predators. Mother Nature is a Bitch.
