Habana, Habana and more Habana 25-32


This is a mural called Carro de la Revolución. I think, I am not so sure anymore. It is located in the Hotel Tryp Habana Libre, and it has been there for a long time. It is completely made out of porcelain. It was on the wall next to the first nightclub in the building.


The same road (Calle Hospital) but this time it showed some better housing. It really is a beautiful city you know.


Chinatown during the day. What did you think? Cheap Chinese food and not go back? Do we look or sound like idiots. Please, only this time we went to a different restaurant where we had sangria, fish filet, lobster (get this, they asked us politely if they could substitute the shrimp with lobster because they ran out of shrimp…..for the same price) and chow meen.


I have no idea what kind of fish it was, but it definitely had red meat. It was a mix in between tuna and salmon. I don’t know what it was, but I LOVED it. And then the langosta, oh gosh, I still cant believe I never had lobster before. Its all I eat in Habana.


That is the paifang that the Chinese government sponsored. They did the same thing in every country that had a significant Chinatown.


The capitolio during daytime. It looks exactly like the one in America. Isnt it ironic?


Oh this is cool. This camera is like 80 years old and it still works. The guy will take your picture for 2 bucks, and it looks like it was taken 80 years ago. Really nice, the pictures are done immediately, and are in black and white


Finally I have reached the last picture. GOSH, 32 pictures, now don’t complain for a long long long time. This is the Gran Teatro de la Habana. They have cabaret and ballet shows over there. I just think that the building is magnificent. It is located at Parque Central, next to Hotel Inglaterra.

Wow….La Habana. This is only part of what the city has to offer. And in my next few trips, I am planning bodeguita del medio, Cabaña fortress and el Morro. Hopefully I will get them done on time.
