Racing With Cubans - Castello di Morro Havana

Castello di Morro is located right at the entrance to Havana harbor.  One of the highlights of our trip was to race with the Cubans from Marina Hemingway to the castle and back.

We had good wind and an enjoyable friendly race.  Here's a view of the Castle from the bay.






A few more scenes from Havana - the old part of the city is beautiful, but on the way there, we passed through areas that were more like scenes from Beirut! Buildings in dis-repair but still lived in.  Our tour guide got us through these areas quickly an efficiently.







The Cuban culture is still very heavily influenced by art and art is definitely something they are very proud of.  We saw a few examples of modern Cuban art.






And without doubt, on of the other things the Cuban's are proud of is their collection of old american cars.  We found several great examples, but almost none are original in that they may have a Russian diesel engine running them.
