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.

More dominos
These are the opposition to the photo posted below. This was a highly animated game. It is decidedly different from the chess matches that also are prevalent in the parks, streets, and outside the doors of homes. It is abundantly clear that there is not a lot of work going on in many of these neighborhoods. I guess that is the lot of many third world countries. This way of passing time is not the province of old men, it involves young ones as well. Bound to be unsatisfying to young, educated men who simply can't find a job. Most of them are anxious to talk about life in the US and they are interested in learning about places other than Miami. Questions like "can you get a better job in Detroit than in Miami?" are common.
