No Photo for You
There is a place in Old Havana called the Plaza de la Catedral. It is here where you will find many Cuban Cigar Ladies posing for pictures. For me though, it was “No Photo for You”.
Havana
No Longer a Church
Iglesia de San Francisco de Paula in Havana is no longer a church. One of Havana’s most attractive churches was fully restored in 2000. The stained glass windows, heavy cupola and baroque facade are distinctive architectural elements.
Paladar Menu
One thing that can be said about Cuban society is that they have an incredible ability to adapt. Cuba was highly dependent on the Soviet Union. This all came to an abrupt halt with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
Havana Apartment
While in Havana last year I had the opportunity to visit many museums and tourist sites. On the way back to the hotel one evening I decided to take a little detour through some of the streets in Havana.
Safari Trophy
Hemingway was a big game hunter and frequently traveled to Africa on safari. As I toured his home in Havana (by viewing through the open windows) I could not help but notice this guy on the wall.
Hemingway’s Other Office
Ernest Hemingway was a famous author. In 1939, he moved to Cuba where he was adopted by the community. This was evident when I visited Cuba in 2014.
Cuba – Museo de la Revolución
The old presidential palace in Havana, Cuba, became the Museo de la Revolución following the Cuban Revolution of 1959, led by Fidel Castro.
