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.

Morning coffee
These fellows are each getting a small cup of coffee from this private vendor. Many women will set up a small home version of Starbucks and sell coffee, juice, and cookies from their door or window to passers by on the street. This is welcomed by those in the neighborhood who may gather around the window to have their refreshments and chat. Unfortunately not so many Cubans are on their way to work when they stop by. It is a demoralizing thing to awaken in the morning and have no place to be that day. Hopefully that situation is changing slightly under the leadership of Raul.
