Bahia Habana

In the early morning it is pleasant to walk along the Bahia Habaña enjoying the fresh, cool air. The only people out early are the fishermen. There are plenty of fish to be caught, but I would not eat them. In spite of its beauty, the bahia is one of the ten dirtiest bays in the world. The little wooden fishing boats bob along the edge, they are all quite colorful and create a quaint scene. Across the street and a small park, the artists and craftspeople are setting up their booths for another day of the Feria des Artisanas. There is a gentle hubbub of conversation, things being hammered together, and people showing up for another day. Some fish, some sell their wares, some just hang out.
