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.

Tropicana
One definite connection with the past is the Tropicana night club. It is a wonderful show, a real extravaganza. The music is excellent and the dancers are superb. The night I went the crowd included tourists and Cubans. The night was beautiful, the tropical evening air refreshing. I recognize that the average Cuban today certainly can't afford the Tropicana, but then I can't afford tickets to The Producers on B'way either. Our second row Tropicana tickets were $75 each, and that included a bottle of rum, some Tropicola, and ice to sip during the show and a meal served during the intermission. Not a bad deal at all.

I have enjoyed your photographs of Cuba immensely and your comments. I do, however, have to disagree with your summery of the Tropicana. I found it to be an overated, badly produced tourist trap. There are better sights to see in Havana.
