On the street in Havana you hear the young people greet each other with the phrase, "Que Bola?" this is equivalent to our US slang phrase "What's up?" This Cuba photo blog is morphing into my general blog with a wider scope of photos and commentary.This will enable me to keep my website clean and still have space to babble.

Almost all Cubans enjoy a good Cuban cigar. Almost constantly when walking in H. Vieja, one is approached by young men offering cigars."Hey man, you want cigar?" When I answer, "NO." They return with, "Why not?" I always tell them, "Bad heart trouble." They are then very apologetic and sorry for me. It is great sport. Once when I told someone "No;" they grabbed me by the arm and jerked me toward them yelling "Why?" I shouted "Donde estas policia?" and the hustler ran, unfortunately he ran into the policeman coming around the corner. I was sorry it had come to that. My only altercation in 6 months of being in Cuba.
