Back to Havana for one last photo opportunity

June 30, 2014 • 7 Comments

It took us most of the day to get back to Havana. By late afternoon I was checked into the hotel and had a couple of hours to go out in Havana for one last walk. Our group was getting together for our farewell dinner later on in the evening. The dinner turned out to be really good- once again I was surprised about just how much I enjoyed the food in Cuba.

I started off just watching the old cars go by the street in front of the hotel. The weather was beautiful and I knew that once I got home I would be in frigid temperatures again (little did I know just how cold and snowy February would be).

You can see how crowded the streets were. It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon.

I was enjoying one last look at some of the buildings.

One last shot before getting ready for dinner. After spending ten days in Cuba I found out why people fall in love with the country and its people. I certainly hope to get back one day- perhaps even get to the beach for a swim next time!

Hi Marsha, Thanks for sending all of your Cuba photos and blogs. I've enjoyed your creative and energetic photos very much. I'm sorry to see the end of them. Looking forward to your images from Paris! Take good care.

I agree with Wendy and Luba. Can't wait to see what you do with beach photos. That there were no beach photos is probably what made your Cuba pics the most interesting I've ever seen. You photographed the Cubans in their environment. What a beautiful country, and you nailed it!
