Started off the day bright and early with a shot of rum at the Havana Club tour, then hopped over to China town, yes I said China town, then a tour of the cigar factory where they roll Fidel’s stogies, and finally wrapped up the day at Necropolis Cristóbal Colón. Let’s hope I make it out.
A Cuban, Mexican, American, and Lebanese hopped in a yank-tank today and headed down to Playa de Este for a traditional Cuban Christmas; a pig roast on the beach (with rice & beans of course) and some Cristal cerveza.
Christmas here in Cuba isn’t that big of a deal which I guess is something to give thanks for this holiday season! Everything was open and in full swing, including La Cabaña, and old apothecary, the meat market, and of course the usual crew of buskars getting their busk on.
Havana is one of those cities where you can literally just wake up one morning, pick a direction, start walking and by mid-afternoon your camera battery is dead from taking so many darn photos. A good problem to have I guess.
Spent the day wandering around La Habana Vieja taking in all the sights and sounds of this city that seems to be preserved in the late 60’s. Such a trip.
