I have tons of photos but the connection is very slow so I cannot post all that I would like to at this time. I'll try to upload to Flikr in due course when I have a better connection. In the meantime here are a few more. Later I will do another post with my further musings on Havana.

| This is "Havana Blue" |
 |
| Awaiting renovation |
 |
| Still waiting |
 |
| Too late |
 |
| Probably not worth saving |
 |
| A botched job |
 |

| Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned the Revolution... |
 |
| A local bar |
 |
| street in Old Havana--note the bicycle rickshaws, the usual public transport for the locals in the narrow streets |
 |
| Fishing boats in the bay of Havana, looking over to Catillo del Morro |
 |
| Centre are the yellow cocotaxi, motor scooter powered. Right is the bicycle trishaw used a lot by the locals. Left the 1950s US gasguzzlers often used as taxis but also as ordinary private transport. The exhuberant Grand Theatre of Havana behind |
 |
| An armoured tractor, used in the Revolution. Ironically, the farmers don't have tractors any more and use oxen to plough their fields. |
 |
| The beautifully restored Plaza de la Catedral |
 |
| The lovely Plaza de Armas, built in the 1600s and now the home of the second hand book sellers. |
 |
| The sadly neglected Malecon |
