Our first stop was at the Christ of Havana. Facing the city, the statue was left with empty eyes to give the impression of looking at all, from anywhere to be seen.
This military aircraft is one of several images taken at the open air museum.
We parked in the shade to get our portrait with the 1952 Chevrolet used during our tour.
The Cubans have used ingenuity for years to keep these old cars running. Cuba is the largest living museum of American cars.
This image and the first one above was taken with my 400mm lens from the cruise ship. You can see the Morro Castle-fortress we visited in the background on the right.
The visit to the Cuban home of Ernest Hemingway was interesting! Out of all the images, this one made me chuckle :) It is his bathroom where he jotted down his weight on the bathroom walls. Hemingway was obsessed with keeping fit!
One of my favorite images which I took before crossing the street to tour the Rum factory.
The lights were turned out to better view the flame from the coffee being made with rum.
Cuba is known for its Rum, cigars, and Mojitos.
During dinner at the Havana Club, I enjoyed a Virgin Mojito or rather Nojito (a non-alcoholic Mojito). It tasted like a sparkling lime drink.
The Havana Cathedral is located in the center of Old Havana. We enjoyed viewing the architecture in Cuba and the cathedral's architecture was impressive!
It was a sweet departure being able to view the Morro Castle as our ship sailed away from Cuba!
Thanks Lucrecia and Pavel! You made our custom Old Car Tour a memorable experience giving us a love of Cuba! Next time we visit, we hope you are available to be our tour guide and driver. Los quiero y los veo la proxima vez.
