Cuba 2018 - Part One
Duncan and I spent a week in Havana, Cuba. What an interesting trip, especially since it had just re-opened the country to tourism in 2015-2016.
There were two door cars, 4 door cars, convertibles and even station wagons.
Architecture
This is the Grand Theatre located in Central Park.

The most interesting buildings to me were the residential structures. Havana was devastated by hurricanes Irma and Michael and there are so many structures yet to be repaired.
These are typical scenes in Havana.
Looking at the streetscape, you see buildings where one dwelling is pristine and the one next door is virtually non existent and/or covered in mold.
Statues and sculptures
An old monastery was converted into a hotel and this is a sculpture of a monk in the courtyard.

Live music and dancing is everywhere.
There were billboards and signs with Fidel Castro and Che Guevara all over Havana which really peaked my interest in the politics and history of Cuba. Two books I highly recommend are:
Hope you liked the tour. Let me know if you have any questions, Duncan and I love to share our travels.
