... 🇨🇺 CUBA - Havana - January 22, 2020

This day was decidedly cooler. Out I went for yet more walking.

This old tree with a face just looking down on everyone ...

A tiny shop upstairs and, hey, why not use the stairs too.  

Street performers extraordinaries 

Mascot dogs or so the sign says

This one someone told me was an Asian dog. For my money, I think this one is a long lost cousin of Max, the Thailand pig dog (for those who are following)

Such a sad look ...

Note: What you have to do here to get Wifi. Here Wifi is not to be taken for granted. First, it is only available to you by purchasing a card. Cost 1 CUC ($C1.34) and good for 1 hour. Only legally available at a few places - usually a line up. Maximum cards is 3. You can buy on the street for double the price. Only certain areas are available to use the card. Usually noisy and busy pedestrian only streets. Wifi strength is 30% ok, 50% poor and 20% not available or on/off frequently. Yes! Not to be taken lightly!

Vintage Fire Fighting equipment...

Fascinating tree roots growing from the roof down 2 floors !

I am finding many things to see and just discover by walking everywhere. Yes, I know I could use the  workout! Here are some the things I discovered today...

 Capitolia dome just gleams in the sun

Yes, your eyes don’t deceive. It’s me !

Traditional ladies ...

Yeaaaa! There’s another one!

Red-legged Thrush 

Outside a restaurant - nice effect

... 🇨🇺 CUBA - Havana... January 20, 2020

Well, first full day in this nation’s capital, Havana. A beautiful, almost perfect day! A few shots just wandering...

The Capital in daylight

Classic car ride at 35 CUC (C$45.69) per hour (negotiable)

Striking bicolour Canna bloom

This one vacant

At the time I failed to notice the similarity of the statue and the human and cat subjects ... can you spot it?

And speaking of cats ... this one begging

Grackle

A song or two in the park $$

... 🇨🇺 CUBA ... Varadero/Havana - January 19, 2020

Well, today was transition day. Too much time waiting and a 2 hour plus bus ride to Havana. Did manage a few photos in Varadero.

Interesting art ...

Northern Curly-tailed lizard

Blue sailboat on blue waters with blue sky

And lastly ... night shot in Cuba ... more tomorrow!
