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.

A typical street with a famous café. This restaurant is full of tourists most of the time. The old Chevrolet has been parked there each time I've walked past. I don't know if it is running or not, it may just be part of the tourist ambiance. Walking in the streets of Habana Vieja and Centro is my favorite thing to do in Havana. The constant sound of music; the smells of food cooking, leaking plumbing, cigar smoke, and the fumes of buses and cars all mixed together; the laughter of children playing; the people sitting in the doors arguing sports and politics; the slap of dominos on a worn out table; it is genuinely a confection of life.
